TRIPPY HEARTS "Murmuration" is an exploration of not being destroyed by a world that feels like it’s falling apart

TRIPPY HEARTS second album, Murmuration, is an exploration of not being destroyed by a world that feels like it’s falling apart, and what three people can forge together in the face of it, carried by the band’s lush, hypnotic, and noir-leaning sound.

The band has played their way through a few years of illnesses, losses, and things falling out of the sky. They’re thrilled to have these songs materialize here on Earth. It’s a record for anyone finding their way through grief or uncertainty—anyone putting themselves together and wondering if something worthwhile can come from it.

Murmuration will be released June 5, 2026, on My My Records.

Robert Frost writes, “The best way out is always through,” and Murmuration leans into that idea—moving through pain and change rather than around them.

The title Murmuration references the movement of starlings—hundreds swirling together to create intricate patterns, sometimes to evade predators and sometimes for reasons we don’t fully understand. In much the same way, the band continues to create together through hard times and joy because it feels right.

The album follows a series of singles, including “Sweet Crash” and “Impossible Current,” and marks a step forward in both clarity and confidence for the group.

Murmuration will be available on vinyl, CD, and all major streaming platforms Friday, June 5, 2026—proof that something beautiful can still take shape, even during uncertainty.
