Adult Mom’s first release Since their 2022 hibernation, “Door Is Your Hand,” finds Stevie Knipe serving up a deliciously vengeful indie power-pop confection. The track, which gestated for five years before emerging fully formed, crackles with the kind of vintage college radio energy that makes you want to dust off your Dr. Martens and write angry poetry in a thrifted notebook. Knipe’s razor-sharp lyrics dance between murderous fantasy and vulnerable confession, while fuzzy guitars wrap around their voice like a protective older sibling. The song kicks off with a bang: “Picturing that you were dead is / The only way to cope with my head” Knipe sings, somehow making emotional exorcism sound like a lost track from 120 Minutes, feeling equal parts timeless and urgently contemporary.
With help from collaborators Olivia Battell, Allegra Eidinger and Lily Mastrodimos, Adult Mom has crafted something that sounds like therapy session notes set to the soundtrack of your favourite ’90s coming-of-age film—raw, cathartic and unexpectedly triumphant.
