The band announced the EP’s release 3 days prior, as there were no singles. The band finds comfort, nostalgia, pain, and hope throughout the EP. Leola Street is their second biggest song and their biggest song on Spotify under the name Lounge Monkey.
The band took a short break due to lineup shifts and announced their lead single for their next album, Fields of Indigo. The radio station based in Salt Lake City, KXRK, played the song on their show several times. The band also received comments about the song from SLUG Mag, a magazine focused on local music released from Salt Lake City and northern Utah. It was featured in their solo roundup for the week of October 1, 2025.[2] Fields of Indigo gained a large amount of attention, bringing comparisons to Thom Yorke’s vocal style as well as similar sounds to bands like Pond and Sonic Youth.
Their album, An Ode to Self Sabotoge, released on November 28, 2025. It featured singles such as Fields of Indigo (March 2025), It’s a Life (May 2025), Supernova (July 2025), and Nowhere Land (October 2025). It has 14 songs and is 57 minutes long. This album was referred to as a linear story about a character named Leola, introduced in the band’s 2024 EP Post 1999 Aliens (the song Leola Street). Throughout the album, Lounge Monkey details the events occurring after a breakup all the way to finding out Leola has gone missing. During their shows in mid-2025, Lounge Monkey hinted at this storyline through missing posters, detective skits, and a letter detailing Leola’s mysterious death. The album received feedback from Kyle Forbush of SLUG Mag, congratulating the band for their “trailblazing spirit that shows itself during their instrumental sections throughout, providing contrast and a kind of musical depth that straightforward, to-the-letter rock ‘n’ roll can never achieve.”[3]
Their latest single, Hot Honey, came out on August 21, 2026. The song is a lead single to an upcoming project from the band. It was played on KXRK in September of 2026.
