**Leave Home Release and Sunday Ramblings 08/31/25**

Happy 3 day weekend mf'ers!! Well, to you non-US mf'ers, tomorrow is Labor Day here so we have Monday as a public holiday.

I'm currently soaking in the tub because, fam, today I feel rough. Mentally I'm ok, but physically like I've been beaten up a bit. I dunno. Whatever it is, a big soak absolutely feels like a necessity.

So... I have vaped whilst in the bath. Like I said, I wasn't aiming to be sober (ha!), more get myself out of the rampaging need to be filling my body with any and every stimulants I could get my dykey little hands on. And to be totally fair, I feel like I've done that. I'm definitely not going to be firing it up first thing in the morning, or even again today. With how physically UGH I feel I just wanted that extra little somethin' somethin' to hopefully lessen that a bit. So don't worry, old Ivy is ok.

Past that, what on else could be possibly be going off...? Oh I dunno, MAYBE PEN-15 ANNOUNCING THEIR NEW ALBUM, LEAVE HOME?!?! 🥳🎉🙌🏻 I'll not reamble what's on the main band blog so just go and take a look. 

And oh my god, as I touched on, we're fucking releasing this one PHYSICALLY too(!). Seeing the 3D mock-ups and it honestly looks incredible - SO so proud. For various reasons (mainly I didn't want boxes of unsold vinyl forever sitting in my apartment), it's on a made to order basis via this company in the UK called elasticStage which was recommended to us. They ship globally though, which was obviously a necessity. I don't know if any similar companies exist in the US, but if they do please let us know and I'll look at setting that up too.

Ohhh and did I mention... t-shirts?? You bet your sweet ass! Again, for reasons and to keep things simple it looks like we're going via Redbubble (which also means poster and clocks! 🤣). That's all going through now but, all being well, we'll have 5 t-shirts available for now. Hope you love 'em as much as we do.

Yesterday me and the girls hung out to go through the launch stuff and had a civilised little party (totally with a cake), and today we're going out into town and absolutely tying one. Having the public holiday tomorrow wasn't intentional but mannnn, that worked out pretty nicely!

Hope you all have super fun weekends, check out the band launch post, go to the vinyl store and listen to those sweet previews!

Much love,

Ives 🖤 x
