illuminati hotties Announce New Album Power, Drop Single “Didn’t” Featuring Cavetown: Stream

A month after announcing a 2024 tour and releasing a new single “Can’t Be Still,” illuminati hotties — the indie-pop project of Sarah Tudzin — is back with news of a new album: Power due on August 23rd via Hopeless Records. Today, along with the announcement, Tudzin shared the lead single “Didn’t,” featuring Cavetown.

The follow-up to 2020’s Let Me Do One More, the new album Power will span 13 tracks, which may constitute Tudzin’s “deepest set of songs” to date, according to the album’s press release.

The lead single, “Didn’t,” features indie artist Cavetown and arrives today along with a music video. Watch it below.

Additionally, illuminati hotties will hit the road later this summer for a North American tour stretching into the fall, stopping Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and many more cities. Grab tickets here.

Editor’s Note: Revisit Tudzin’s recent appearance on In Defense of Ska, where she discussed how her ska roots continue to inform her current artistic output.
