NYC punks DOLLHOUSE have returned with their second EP I Hate You Don’t Leave Me, out now on Toxic State Records. Featuring four tracks that are catchy as hell and painfully introspective, each song is filled to the brim with attitude, hooks, and a grimy deathrock veneer. Opener “Be Nice To Me (Pt II)” and the self-titled second track are both instant earworms, while the latter two go in a spikier direction, making for a well-rounded listen that demands a second spin. If you were a fan of their first EP, it’s time to fall in love with DOLLHOUSE all over again.
