Here’s our new video for "Dark Glass" just premiered by @treblezine . This is the second song from our upcoming album, 'Loving the Void' out June 17th.
"During quarantine I was on an island in Lake Superior as big as NYC but with only about 100 people and this one arrived pretty much all at once, in nearly psychedelic silence at 2am. The chords had all this interchanging momentum but they moved so methodically I just hung onto the melody on top of all that, like I had my arms around a slow motion meteor moving in the song's universe." -Mike Law

If you told me when we were 20 years old that @stephenbrodsky and I would have a new @newideasociety album out in 2026 I would definitely have believed you, it only makes sense. Making this album with Steve was the most fun I could have in life. We worked on this record for a very long time in the writing, exchanging ideas and recording. We didn’t let anything slip and when we had a song we loved we wrote one we loved even more. If you’re already a fan of Steve I’m here to tell you that he’s even better than you imagine him to be.
We’ll be playing a few shows in support of the album so come out this summer and pick up an LP or CD TODAY from @relapserecords They did an amazing job with a great (and affordable) LP that sounds true to the album we made. It’s no small feat to release an affordable album in 2026 so it’s important to me personally to mention that. Thank you @relapserecords
Thanks to @jamesfjohnston for the beautiful artwork and to @gare_saw_bear for mixing the album. …and it wouldn’t be a NIS album if Kurt hadn’t helped out so thanks for loaning gear @godcitymusic

New Idea Society has taken on differing shapes and forms over the years, but at its heart is the duo of Mike Law (Wild Arrows, Eulcid) and Stephen Brodsky (Cave In, Mutoid Man), a pair enraptured and united by the alchemical power of songwriting. With a connection that can be traced back to their high school years, between them exists an intuitive understanding that informs exactly what New Idea Society is at any given point.
