LISTEN: NEW LORE Drops Alt-Pop Single ‘substack girl’

“substack girl” by NEW LORE, the all-girl Filipino electropop trio gaining buzz through editorial placements with their art-driven alt-pop sound, is a tender, self-aware love song about missing someone through the details of who they are. Built on hypnotic production and list-like lyrics, it quietly questions identity, growth, and whether love lingers in habits long after people drift apart.

About the Artist:

NEW LORE is art you can feel before you understand it, a fashionable all-girl band from the Philippines making music that blurs the line between gallery walls and the dance floor. Their sound lives in the space between chaos and confession: glitchy synths, aching basslines, and lyrics that sting like truth told too late. They make music for the romantics with rage, the loners with playlists, and the kids who cry in the club then sketch it later. It’s pop that feels like poetry, a fever dream of feeling too much and saying too little. One year into existence, NEW LORE dropped their debut album Grief Cake, a cinematic collection that landed on Spotify’s .ORG, Poses, and New Music Friday across Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. They’re the kind of band the Philippines is still sleeping on, a new generation of artists turning heartbreak into high art and vulnerability into something that moves.
