Pop duo/band X Lovers announces their second EP, Mad World, will be released this fall via Visionary Records/RCA Records. Over the course of the next few months, various tracks from the EP will be dropped, with the final track release on EP release day. To celebrate today’s announcement, the band released the titular track (“Mad World”) and accompanying lyric video.
X Lovers says of the album, “Being young right now is incredibly intense, for better and for worse. Right now, there’s so much possibility with experiencing things for the first time. At the same time, it’s hard to deny or ignore how heavy the state of the world is right now. We’re the first generation ever that climate change and environmental issues can actually have a serious effect on. That’s an insane reality and where this project stems from.” Last year, the duo released their first EP, which has received nearly 20 million streams worldwide. Various tracks from the EP received praise from The Fader, Ones To Watch, Idolator and more. Most recently, the guys were featured in Noisey’s “6 Hours With” which you can watch here.
X Lovers is a pop duo/band from Northern California. After forming their first punk band at age 10 together, London and Jacob (both 21) have been collaborating since their teenage years. London, who is the vocalist and drives most of the songwriting works in conjunction with Jacob who produces all the records. After creating a highly dedicated fan base across their hometown of Nevada City and Northern California, the two best friends moved to Los Angeles to master their craft. Citing Green Day and Kanye West as their biggest influences, X Lovers is currently working on music and preparing for their first official major label release.
