It’s loud, it’s over the top. The record’s about feeling alone, like the world is falling apart, and heartbreak. I had so much fucking fun making it. Enjoy. Or don’t.”
“Them” follows Eli’s previous singles “Hot Shit”, “Runts”, “Member Of The World” and “The Best”, earning support from critical tastemakers such as BBC Radio 1’s Future Alternative with Nels Hylton, Kerrang!

Releasing his debut EP Future Accountants of America, Unite in 2020, Eli set the tone for his career as he worked alongside friend and producer Ethan Gruska (Phoebe Bridgers, Fiona Apple) to create an impeccable future-forward blend of alternative, pop, punk, emo and synth music. With influences including the likes of My Chemical Romance, 100 Gecs, Steven Sondheim, Smashing Pumpkins, Lil Peep and Weezer, Eli Hurts is a relatable and exciting artist for 2023.
