About the album
After a pandemic-driven hiatus following their debut, eponymous release, The Melancholy Kings’ sophomore album, Her Favorite Disguise, once again taps into the vicissitudes of life in and among the shadows of Gotham. From Astor Place, which recounts the too-familiar tale of suburban exodus to the Jersey promised land, to Bitcoin Elegy’s musings on isolation in the digital age; from UV’s post-modern homage to the mysterious V replete with whooping incantations and a rollicking trumpet solo from musical guest, Mac Gollehon (David Bowie, Duran Duran, Hall and Oates (and many others)), to the lonely tale in New Girl of a man hopelessly in love with a film noir siren, Her Favorite Disguise both celebrates and cringes at the rich tapestry of life’s follies in the Big Apple and its homely step-sister across the Hudson, all the while rocking with a quiet intensity recalling the rough-hewn insouciance of 80s, pre-grunge alt-rock.
Her Favorite Disguise will be released on the Magic Door Record Label digitally and on LP vinyl on November 28, 2025.
