RELEASES “I DON’T GO OUT” FROM NEW PROJECT
CREATED IN COLLABORATION WITH TOVE LO AND FLUME

OUT ON PRETTY SWEDE / NEON GOLD RECORDS HERE + VISUALIZER HERE
Today, rising electronic pop auteur googly eyes returns with “I Don’t Go Out”, the first track from her forthcoming project created entirely in collaboration with Tove Lo and Flume. Co-written by all three artists, it’s an otherworldly masterclass of future pop perfection, a going out club record for those who want nothing more than to stay at home with their person. The song arrives accompanied by a visualizer here, directed by Maya Sassoon.  

In September of 2023, Tove Lo and Flume posted an artist development open call out to new artists on instagram, and after receiving and reviewing thousands of demos, googly eyes emerged as the dream artist for the opportunity. Now nearly two years on, the fruits of their collaboration bear fruit on “I Don’t Go Out” ahead of a full forthcoming collaborative EP.

Sitting somewhere between alternative pop and electronic indie, googly eyes delivers glitchy, technicolor, poetic songs of the heart – all 100% written, recorded and produced entirely on her own to this point, best illustrated on googs’ 2024 debut Starlet EP and its breakout singles “Mid-Leap”, “Internet Star” and “Waste of Conversation”. As an artist, songwriter, and producer, googly eyes lives in a sonic world entirely of her own making. With a focus on vocal production, electronic influences, and poetic lyricism, googs paints vivid soundscapes blending raw, human elements with angular, synthetic ones. What began as a project for demos and works in progress has grown into a force of creativity, rich innovation and play.

“I Don’t Go Out” marks googly eyes’ latest release on Pretty Swede Records, an independent label founded in 2022 by Tove Lo. To date, Pretty Swede has released Tove’s 2023 LP Dirt Femme and her collaborative 2024 HEAT EP with SG Lewis. googly eyes’ Starlet EP marked the first release by Pretty Swede outside of Tove’s own artist project.

Pretty Swede have signed googly eyes in collaboration with Tove’s longtime collaborators Neon Gold, themselves known for a star-studded history of debut releases, from Tove’s own Truth Serum EP in 2014 (featuring “Habits”) to iconic early releases from Charli XCX, Marina & The Diamonds, Christine and the Queens, Ellie Goulding and more.

About “I Don’t Go Out”, googs says: “It’s a pretty surreal moment releasing a song I made with Tove Lo and Flume - especially since it’s my first time opening my world to collaborators. I Don’t Go Out is lovestruck, tender, and for anyone who’s happiest to be in bed by 9pm with their person. It taps into two things I circle back to constantly: my instinct to retreat from the noise, and my deep, uncomplicated love for my partner. I feel really lucky to have a love like that, and to be making music about it with two artists I’ve admired for years.”
