Date Published 2/10/2023 12:00:00 AM

We're excited to announce our signing to Nettwerk along with the release of our new single “Shake” accompanied by an official music video. “Shake” was produced by Jason Matter and Seth Reger of The Stereotypes (Bruno Mars, Silk Sonic, TWICE, etc.) and showcases our palm-muted guitar riffs with airy keys as harmonies surround the track instantly enchanting the listener with wonder and promise.

“It’s one of our more intense songs, and it gets pretty violent. We think of it as our ‘Baddie Anthem’.” “We were trying to write about stepping into our power,”

“Sophisticated Rock with a cool Electronic texture to it.”

A swirl of Indie-Pop and Post-Punk with a devilish alchemy that summons both Blues and Beats, The Haunt wouldn’t be out of place at Vivienne Westwood’s late seventies London boutique; a new wave countdown on MTV’s “120 Minutes”; baking in the sun at Vans Warped Tour; or a dystopian dance club in space.

Anastasia Grace Haunt and Maxamillion Haunt, the sibling duo at the core of the quartet, craft shockingly resonant anthems infused with wistful elegance and raw nerve. At only 19, Anastasia is possessed with a voice and sensibility beyond her years, an old soul somehow channeling a timeless essence, with powerfully mature lyricism to back it up. Enigmatic, esoteric, and charming, Anastasia doesn’t just “relate” to teenagers in The Haunt’s audience who have been bullied or otherwise shunned. She quite literally is one of them.

Songs like “I’M NOT YOURS” are filled with passion and ambition. Anastasia glides with relative ease between the otherworldly vibrations of soul siren Amy Winehouse or punk icon Siouxsie Sioux.. The anti-bullying mini-movie music video that first introduced many to The Haunt, “All Went Black,” was originally penned by Anastasia as a deeply felt battle cry against loneliness and abandonment when she was just 12 years old. Since then, The Haunt has released two EP’s as well as multiple standalone singles, including songs like “Cigarettes and Feelings” and “Love You Better”, which both quickly rose to be fan favorites, respectfully.

The juxtaposition of Anastasia’s quiet offstage shyness with her commanding vocal preeminence is one of many artistic clarion calls beckoning an increasing number of likeminded devotees into the Haunt’s world. Her daydreaming quirkiness and vintage-meets- Victorian ambience strike familiar chords with those who yearn to live in the pages of Edward Gorey or the films of Tim Burton.

The Haunt is an invitation to the outsider, a blissful surrender to enchantment, melancholy, and disaffected beauty. It’s the soundtrack to the dark romanticism of otherworldly sentimentality. This is lush, theatrical, all-enveloping music outstretching its cold embrace to the overlooked,
