The project of Sarah Tudzin, illuminati hotties has announced a new EP, Nickel on the Fountain Floor, and shared a new song from it, “Wreck My Life,” which features PUP, in particular the band’s Stefan Babcock. Listen below, followed by illuminati hotties’ upcoming tour dates, including some with PUP. Also watch her recent Tiny Desk Concert.

Nickel on the Fountain follows illuminati hotties’ 2024 album, POWER.

Tudzin had this to say about the new EP and single in a press release: “There are a handful songs that I couldn’t quite figure out how to squeeze on to POWER—they live in a nearby neighborhood to POWER or perhaps weren’t fully formed in time, and ‘Wreck My Life’ was a tune that lay crying on the cutting room floor for a rework. I’m honored to be joined by the unmatched talent of Stefan from PUP on this tune, who took it to another level. You ALL know someone that fits the ‘Wreck My Life’ description and I PRAY you never let them (wreck your life).”
