After months of cryptic teases, late night drive home finally steps into the spotlight with their long-awaited debut album as I watch my life online, out June 27 via Epitaph. Fueled by a love/hate relationship with the internet, the 13-track record is a raw, electrifying self-portrait of Gen-Z burnout, digital dependency, and fractured identity in the screen age.
The El Paso/Chaparral-born band—known for their breakout hit “Stress Relief” and buzzy festival appearances (Coachella, ACL, Shaky Knees)—delivers their most expansive work yet. Produced in proper studios for the first time, as I watch my life online moves from indie-rock into glitchy, synth-laced territory, blending jagged electronics, intimate vocals, and knotty drum work into a sound that’s both chaotic and cathartic.
Lead single “terabyte” sets the tone with razor-sharp production and deeply vulnerable lyricism. It’s a meditation on digital desire, dopamine loops, and the erosion of self-worth—“love” reduced to screens and scrolls. It’s uncomfortable. It’s relatable. It hits hard.
Frontman Andre Portillo sums it up best: “You’ve made me. You’ve destroyed me.” That duality pulses through the whole album—part confession, part confrontation.
This isn’t just a coming-of-age album. It’s a coming-of-(online)-age album: dizzying, dark, and deeply human. late night drive home have officially arrived—and they’re not logging off anytime soon.
