All-female alt-pop trio NEW LORE have a Very Ancient Way of Crying for all their feelings that are too big to contain.

Released on November 13, 2026, under Off The Record and Sony Music Philippines, the album draws from what NEW LORE described as “a band with too many feelings and too many ideas.” Having spent the past year unveiling pre-release singles and building onto their third , the trio shared, “some things took us three albums to say.”

Dripping with sincerity, the record is made up of tracks you’d put on when you simply want to feel. Despite exploring a range of emotions and featuring collaborations with different artists such as Paolo Sandejas, Clara Benin, Ichika Nito, and Gabba, the album maintains a cohesive sound, allowing each track to flow seamlessly into the next.

Whether it’s the slight spring in your step brought by “Sad Girl” and “Fleabag,” the laid-back moods of “Burgers42,” “Blue,” and “Awkward,” or the slower, more ruminative moments of “I Ruin, I Love” and the gentle assuredness of “Kingdom,” each track offers its own emotional experience.
