Indie-rock quartet Mamalarky have signed to Epitaph Records and released the brand new single “Nothing Lasts Forever.”

"We were in the dead of the summer experiencing another climate-crisis heatwave in LA with no AC. This song kind of sizzled out as our brain cells were struggling to fire. Everyone started dancing. We were supposed to be writing songs for someone else but we liked this one too much so we never sent it in,” Livvy Bennett explains. "We wanted to write about how it feels to not entirely know where you stand with someone. To think that you can see the future but ultimately surrender to uncertainty. The lyrics are obviously a little contradiction. Maybe not knowing is part of the fun?"

"The music video got shot in a trashed office complex by LAX," she continues. "My friends drove out for the occasion, g'bless <3. I'm really not a dancer, I actually almost failed out of dance class in highschool because I was perpetually high and untalented and my teachers hated me. Anyway doing this weird liminal space dance competition felt redemptive and terrifying. I still can't believe I won."

Nothing Lasts Forever” marks the first taste of new music from the band since the release of their acclaimed 2022 album, Pocket Fantasy.

"Nothing Lasts Forever" is out now.
