Fullscreen - Highway Hypnosis

“’Make No Mistake’” sees the quartet fully immersed in a liminal space between pulsating darkwave and the reverberating layers of dissociated dream-pop as the track builds its various layers of ominous harmonized vocals. It’s shoegaze by M83’s definition of the term— ambient, electronic, otherworldly.” – Flood Magazine

“A little Slowdive, a little Wolf Parade, but with its own distinct sense of space and tension, “Avoidance Disorder” lingers long after the last note fades. Undoubtedly, this piece is one of the best I heard so far this year.” – Where the Music Meets

Highway Hypnosis finds Fullscreen leaning into clarity and pressure in equal measure, a defining moment on their upcoming sophomore LP. After a string of head-turning live sets and a pair of acclaimed early releases, the Philadelphia four-piece sharpened their focus—not just refining their darkly cinematic sound, but rethinking how to wield it. Gone is any hint of hazy detachment. In its place: a punchier, tighter version of the band that still deals in atmosphere, but isn’t afraid to hit hard.

Working out of self-built home studios, Headroom Studios in Philadelphia, and Montrose Recording in Richmond, Fullscreen took their time shaping the new record, trading files, layering textures, and chasing a sound that felt both bigger and more intimate.

Fullscreen’s evolution is not just audible—it’s visceral. Onstage, they’ve cultivated a reputation for immersive, high-stakes performances, sharing bills with acts like Alex G, Horse Jumper of Love, and Kississippi. With their sophomore LP due out June 18 on Bad Catt Records / Mint 400 Records, the band—Harper McGrath, Eric Scheuler, Jon Furson, and Kirby Vitek—offers a record built to stick in your chest and stay there.

The band announces their record release show at Johnny Brenda’s in Philadelphia, PA on July 3rd.
