Retail Drugs Announces New Album 'Factory Reset' & Shares New Single/Video via Angel Tapes !
Today, Retail Drugs — the NYC recording project of musician Jake Brooks — announces their new album, Factory Reset, out December 5th via Angel Tapes / Fire Talk, and presents its lead single/video, “Anti-Lonely.” Factory Reset marks Retail Drugs’ second album of 2025, following the b-sides and demos collection rECKless dRIVing released earlier this summer, and comes a little more than a year after the band’s underground debut album i love you so !. Factory Reset takes a stark detour from Brooks’ prior releases, abandoning guitar-forward tape-recorded compositions, and instead doubling down on the experimental electronic impulses scattered throughout Brooks’ prolific discography.
“Anti-Lonely” is presented alongside a video filmed by longtime Retail Drugs collaborators Josiah and David Martuscello, and edited by Josiah Martuscello. The “Anti-Lonely” music video is a deep-fried reflection on timeline addiction, burnout and contemporary habits.
