New York-based alt-punk band The FMs will release their new album, 51122, on November 22. Produced by the legendary David Werner and inspired by lo-fi dream pop, classic new wave, and synthpunk, the album follows PINK + BLACK, their sophomore record released earlier this year.

Following the release of the album's lead single, a cover of Joy Division's 'She's Lost Control', the band recently released the second single, "Future Pope." Of the new single, the band's co-founder Matte Namer shares: "We have been accelerating to this moment of political panic in 2024, and The FMs are releasing 'Future Pope,' a prophetic dance-march beaming cybernetic synths, and funk-punk guitars. Conceptually dizzying yet socially relevant, we journey forward to a tyrant able to tap into the same rage mania of the Trump era but used with much more Machiavellian effectiveness - potentially an even darker moment, yet with still with hope brought forth by the subversive gender outlaws hacking the paradigm."
