The Dreaded Laramie as preparing to release their debut for Smartpunk Records, the upcoming Princess Feedback, out July 5.

The group shares the power-pop toned "Life Is Funny" now, inspired by a crush experienced by MC Cunningham, which progressed from rejection to discomfort.

“At one point, I tried to make a move, and he politely turned me down (reasonable), but then starting that night at about 3AM flooded me with a TON of very cryptic text messages, including the title, ‘Life is funny,’” she explains. “It’s very confusing to be both sad that someone has rejected you and uncomfortable with the advances he makes following the rejection. I am still friends with this person, but he texts me a lot less now, and only during business hours.” 

Princess Feedback is the group's first full-length, following a self-titled EP (2019) and Everything A Girl Could Ask EP (2022).

The Dreaded Laramie - Princess Feedback tracklist:

1. Mess
2. Breakup Songs
3. Life Is Funny
4. Happiness
5. I Should Go
6. Fishnets
7. Communion
8. Easy
9. Birmingham Bulls Win!
10. Where’s My Crystal Ball?
