Seattle all-women garage-punk outfit The Darts has released their new full-length album entitled Halloween Love Songs. The album is out now via Meow Hiss Music (US) and Adrenalin Fix Music FR (EU).

The spark for the record came during a 2024 Rock n Folk interview in Paris. Singer and keyboard player Nicole Laurenne joked that Halloween deserved more than one novelty hit. By the time she got home, the joke had grown teeth. She shares:

“I didn’t want an album that was just monster-costumes on the playground. Side A is full of colorful, early-evening energy, the kind of songs you could blast while the neighborhood lights are flicking on. But Side B is the soundtrack for after dark, when the bonfire is raging. It’s for sweaty middle-of-the-night dancing, making out on a bed of empty candy wrappers, and spinning through an all-nighter apocalypse.”

Produced by Grammy-winning Mark Rains at Station House Studio in Los Angeles, the album captures a band operating at full voltage, a tight, road-seasoned unit that has distilled years of touring, lineup evolution, and late-night writing sessions into a sharp, cinematic garage-punk statement. 

True to form, The Darts will follow the release with another year of heavy touring across the U.S., Europe, the UK, and Japan in 2026, including early-year Hawaii shows that set the tone for the run ahead. Check out that GIANT run of dates below.
