Chicago’s Brigitte Calls Me Baby have just announced their sophomore record Irreversible, which will arrive March 13th via ATO Records. Lead single Slumber Party finds frontman Wes Leavins’ iconic voice on full display, backed by propulsive guitar and percussion. The group have had a whirlwind few years following the release of their debut album and relentless touring schedule. With sold-out tours across the US, UK and Europe alongside Morrissey, Muse, & Fontaines D.C., and television performances at Kimmel, Kelly Clarkson, and CBS, the band are ready to return with an electrifying suite of songs that fully captures the energy and grandeur of their live show.
Produced by Yves Rothman and Lawrence Rothman (Blondshell, Yves Tumor), Irreversible marks the follow-up to their critically lauded 2024 debut The Future Is Our Way Out. Recorded live at Lawrence’s home studio, the 11-song LP reveals a band profoundly transformed by their countless hours on the road and instilled with a newfound fearlessness.
Slumber Party delves into the dark corners of the human psyche, with Leavins sharing that he “wrote that song thinking about the type of people who isolate and ruminate, to the point where it becomes a chore to leave the home.” Written on the road, like much of the record, Slumber Party was added to their San Diego setlist on a whim. The crowd’s feverish reaction made something click—the band realized they weren’t just gathering ideas and writing songs; they were building a record.
Alongside the album announcement, the band today have also revealed their headline North American Tour dates that will see them play this spring in Chicago, Seattle, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Nashville, DC, NYC and more. Their North American tour follows their upcoming headline dates in the UK and a stint supporting The Vaccines.
