We Are Imaginary Release New Single "Stockholm"

We Are Imaginary are back with a brand-new single, entitled “Stockholm.” Released on July 18, 2025 (Friday), the new track is described as “a gripping meditation on toxic attachment disguised as love,” as it dives into “themes of emotional entanglement and vulnerability.”

“Stockholm” serves as the indie rock band’s first release of 2025 and follows their first single as a duo, “Pinkish Hue,” which came out on November 27, 2024. Additionally, the new song also serves as the band’s latest single from their upcoming self-titled album, which is set to come out on vinyl sometime this 2025 under Eikon Records.

“This time, after going through a depressive state over a toxic relationship, I looked inward and tried wording out the existential crisis I was in,” said vocalist and guitarist Ahmad Tanji in a press statement, sharing that the song’s lyrics were “inspired by his lyrical heroes from early 2000s indie rock/pop.” “It’s sort of a nod to that iconic Garden State scene, but through a grittier lens.”

“Stockholm” sees the band further exploring their “signature blend of introspective storytelling and “textured instrumentation, with its production having evolved thanks to “a collaborative exchange between Tanji and producer Joey Santos, who initially leaned into a heavier, noisier arrangement.” “My mind was pushing it to be more in the vein of ’90s alterna-pop bands (Superdrag, Nada Surf, etc.) as it should serve the bounce and weight of the words,” expounds Tanji. With this, he additionally notes how their sound engineer Angee Rozul’s idea of “adding an acoustic guitar in order drive the song did wonders,” emphasizing how it made the single more “expansive and intimate.”
