A new single releasing on September 26, 2025 features the first song ever written by Eponymous 4’s Greg Bueno.
Greg finished the first version of “Untold Demons” in August 1986, according to the date on the manuscript paper. The version recorded, however, was extensively revised in 2005, updating the lyrics and refining the music. It also fully embraces the influence of mid-1980s Heart.
The single is paired with “No Exit,” which was reissued earlier in 2025. Both tracks appear on the album A Ghost in My Shadow, which is being remixed for a future reissue.
A reissue of the single “Epiphany” arrives to streaming services on July 25, 2025 with new mixes.
This two-track single was originally released in 2015 as part of a multi-month campaign preceding the release of Retrograde Songs, a compilation of b-side tracks. “Epiphany” was the fourth of six singles.
The tracks on this release marked the first time Eponymous 4 used a guitar as a primary instrument. Until then, most Eponymous 4 songs had been written on keyboards and piano. Japanese indie artists such as NUMBER GIRL and Shiina Ringo provided the push into a full rock sound.
“No Exit” returns to streaming services on May 30, 2025 with new mixes and sharing top billing with “Blood Money.”
This three-track maxi single was originally released in 2015 as part of a multi-month campaign preceding the release of Retrograde Songs, a compilation of b-side tracks. “No Exit” was the fifth of six singles.
The three songs on this release are steeped in influences from the 1980s, from Honolulu band Oriental Love Ring to Duran Duran and Information Society. “Blood Money” even throws in a bit of Shiina Ringo into the mix.
“The One to Make You Whole” returns to streaming services on March 28, 2025 with new mixes.
Similar to “Silver Sting,” this three-track maxi single was originally released in 2015 as part of a multi-month campaign preceding the release of Retrograde Songs, a compilation of b-side tracks. “The One to Make You Whole” was the third of six singles.
The three songs on this release spotlight a more fluid sense of harmony, with the title track taking liberties with a famous pop song chord progression. Other tracks were inspired by the Catholic Requiem mass and an Anne Rice novel.
“Silver Sting” returns to streaming services on Jan. 31, 2025 with new mixes.
The three-track maxi single was originally released in 2015 as part of a multi-month campaign preceding the release of Retrograde Songs, a compilation of b-side tracks. Eponymous 4 had released only albums and EPs up to that point, but the tracks on Retrograde Songs didn’t feel cohesive enough to justify being called an album.
“Silver Sting” was the second of six singles released in 2015, with Retrograde Songs following later that year. The two additional tracks were songs commissioned by friends in high school. “Strivers for a Better Tomorrow” was performed live by an entire graduating class! The version on the single does not contain vocals. “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow” was also commissioned by another high school friend, but it wasn’t used for the final performance.
Two singles from the 「新曲モラトリアム」 (Shinkyoku Moratoirum) albums have been reissued with new mixes on Bandcamp. Digital releases follow in July and September 2024.
“Be My Last,” a cover of Utada Hikaru, preceded the release of the Japanese language cover album 「新曲モラトリアム日本語版」 (Shinkyoku Moratorium Nihongohan), while “Hurt So Bad,” a Linda Ronstadt cover, led the release of the English language cover album 「新曲モラトリアム英語版」 (Shinkyoku Moratorium Eigoban).
Both songs have been remixed and remastered for inclusion on a forthcoming Eponymous 4 compilation scheduled for release in 2025.
“Be My Last” arrives on streaming services July 26, with “Hurt So Bad” arriving September 27.
