iDKHOW announce debut album with new single 'Leave Me Alone' | NME

iDKHOW, the new project from former Panic! At The Disco member Dallon Weekes, have dropped a brand new single, ‘Leave Me Alone’, also announcing details of their forthcoming debut album, ‘Razzmatazz’.

‘Leave Me Alone’ is the first offering from ‘Razzmatazz’, set for release in October and the next chapter in the iDKHOW storyline, a complex world of Weekes’ creation.

The new track is released with an accompanying lyric video. Watch it below.

Weekes explained the inspiration behind the song in a press release, where he stated, “When you’re in a toxic situation, the phrase ‘Leave Me Alone’ is the last civil thing you say before things get uncivil.”

iDKHOW, an abbreviation for I DON’T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME, are a duo, comprised of Weekes and ex-Falling In Reverse drummer Ryan Seaman.

“iDKHOW was initially believed to have been a band from 30 plus years ago that never got their big break,” said a statement in the band’s press release. “But in 2017, an anonymous source began to release recovered video footage of iDKHOW.

“The videos that span the years 1964 to 1983 have been released out of sequence and display a mysterious genesis that has yet to be understood.”

Four years ago, Weekes introduced iDKHOW in a Los Angeles club, only to deny the project’s existence in the following months.

P!ATD and Weekes fans rejoiced when iDKHOW’s 2018 debut EP ‘1981 Extended Play’ was released, which has since reached audiences of more than 64 million across various platforms.

‘Razzmatazz’ out October 16 via Fearless Records. Pre-order here.
