Los Angeles singer-songwriter Alyssa Gengos has announced their signing to Egghunt Records.

To celebrate, they dropped their new single "Mechanichal Sweetness” today, which arrives with a music video. Gengos said this about their new single/video:

“Mechanical Sweetness” is a song about my immense frustration with the way we form human (and more specifically, romantic) connections nowadays. Social media and dating apps have turned human interaction into a painful game. These digital ways of communication have caused me so much stress, and my attempts at forging relationships through them have been short-lived and veiled with thin layers of politeness. When the charade between two people who don’t really know each other finally ends, these relationships can be exposed for what they frequently are: unbalanced, unhealthy, and lacking compassion. Sonically, this song mirrors my experiences with largely digital relationships. In the beginning, there are quiet moments of sparse communication where anxiety runs high, eventually leading to an outburst of emotion followed by a period of insecurity and self-questioning.

For the video, I wanted to kinda exaggerate myself going crazy due to this feeling of isolation/lack of communication. It’s supposed to be silly, kinda like a caricature of myself as a crazed starlet. The beaded dress/jumping in the pool/being interviewed is a parody of Angelina Jolie jumping in the pool at the Beverly Hilton after the 1999 golden globes.”

"Mechanical Sweetness" is available on digital services right now.
