Music: MX LONELY: Brooklyn Alt-Rock Explorers and the Intense Pull of “Anesthetic”

MX LONELY are a Brooklyn-based rock band composed of synthesist and vocalist Rae Haas, guitarist Jake Harms and bassist Gabriel Garman, with a sound rooted in heavy, murky alt-rock that draws on grunge, shoegaze and post-punk elements. The group originally bonded over shared musical influences and life experiences, including meetings in support groups, and together they’ve developed music that tackles deep emotional themes like addiction, self-reflection and inner conflict. They’ve released a string of EPs and singles and are now poised for wider recognition with their debut full-length album All Monsters coming in February 2026 via Julia’s War Recordings.

The song “Anesthetic” is one of the leading singles ahead of All Monsters. It blends dense, riff-driven guitars with intense dynamics and visceral vocal delivery to explore the tension between sensation, numbness and the desire to escape pain. Vocalist Rae Haas describes “Anesthetic” as “a love song to the addict,” capturing both the highs and lows of intense emotional states rather than simply seeking ways to dull discomfort. Through its emotional depth and heavy sonic atmosphere, the track exemplifies MX LONELY’s ability to turn introspective struggles into potent alternative rock energy that resonates with listeners drawn to raw, powerful musical expression.
