Lovesick is the debut full-length record from the Chicago-based darkwave powerhouse clubdrugs. Far from a one-note genre piece, the album is a meticulously crafted, emotionally charged dance party that thrives in the shadows. By masterfully blending the brooding atmosphere of goth, the infectious hooks of synth-pop, and the hazy, wall-of-sound textures of shoegaze, the band captures a unique nostalgia—channeling 90’s alternative vibes while pushing the sound into a modern, neon-lit future.
The band’s meteoric rise reached a fever pitch following an extensive North American tour with IAMX in late 2025. This high-profile run cemented their reputation as a formidable live act, characterized by raw energy and immersive visuals. The creative synergy between the two acts even led to clubdrugs providing an official remix for one of IAMX’s latest singles, further validating their position as rising stars in the electronic underground.
Building on that momentum, clubdrugs officially signed with the prestigious Artoffact Records, a label synonymous with cutting-edge industrial and post-punk music. To celebrate the signing, they released the high-concept music video for the lead single “Heart 2 Break.” The visual went viral almost instantly, racking up tens of thousands of views within days and establishing clubdrugs as the new standard-bearers for the darkwave revival.
