The Nude Party today shared their new single “Walk That Walk” off their forthcoming new album Look Who’s Back, out February 13th, 2026. “This is our Thin Lizzy ‘Jailbreak’ moment. If The Devil Wears Prada took place in Bushwick, this is the song they’d play over the opening credits as Anne Hathaway crosses Myrtle Ave for her first day at VICE Magazine,” says the band’s Patton Magee. “Glammy, simple. Party rock ‘n’ roll.” It’s the latest in an impressive lineup of feel-good singles–also including “Honey For The Barflies,” “Carolyn,” “Sweetheart of The Radio,” “Look Who’s Back,” and “Not That Bad”–which have been earning support from Brooklyn Vegan, FLOOD, Under the Radar, Garden & Gun, Glide Magazine, RIFF Magazine, and more. Look Who’s Back is now available for pre-save.
The Nude Party will celebrate the release with an extensive 2026 headlining tour, including stops at Los Angeles’s Lodge Room (March 18th) and New York City’s TV Eye (April 24th and 25th). A full itinerary is listed below.
The seven-piece band of Magee (vocals, harmonica, guitars), Shaun Couture (vocals, guitars), Connor Mikita (drums), Alec Castillo (bass), Don Merrill (keyboards, piano), Austin Brose (percussion) and Jon “Catfish” Delorme (pedal steel, dobro)—a dedicated brotherhood since 2013—return to the DIY in their DNA on their energized fourth record. “We pretty much blitzed into the California desert in the middle of a tour, and spent five days recording and partying with our friends Michael Rault and Pearl Charles. We’d track ‘til the early hours of the morning, fall asleep, cook some eggs, then start up again,” they explain. “Look Who’s Back also comes at a big turning point for us. It’s our first independent studio release since leaving New West Records, and coincides with us all moving from the sleepy Catskills Mountains down to New York City—I hear in these songs that sense of straddling the city and the country, kicking out the jams freely again.”
Recorded in producer Rault’s Joshua Tree, California, living room studio, Look Who’s Back took shape in a homegrown, late-night party atmosphere. Playfully debaucherous sessions ran late into the night, the cozy room as crowded with mics, cables, and recording equipment as it was with friends, pizza boxes, and beer cans. This sense of joy and community is palpable on the band’s happiest sounding record to date, ripe with beachside boogie and slick ‘70s groovers that reflect the storied Joshua Tree surroundings where they kicked up the dust in the land of cowboys and UFOs. “We’ve found that rock’n roll is best made fast, without time to second-guess decisions and throw hurdles at your own feet,” The Nude Party says. “This record is punchy, it’s fun, and it’s not overthought. The way a good rock’n roll album should be.”
The Nude Party’s previous releases have earned great praise and support from Rolling Stone, Consequence, Paste Magazine, American Songwriter, and more.
You can hear this album live at HI-FI Annex on Friday, April 17th.
