Italy-based industrial rock and alternative rock trio Noir Addiction have released the new single “How She’s Got It” via SoulPunx Records. The track is taken from the forthcoming six-track release “Pretty Things Don’t Last”, due July 16.
The single follows “Serve Me Some Crime”, which we covered in March 2026. “How She’s Got It” is available through Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. The official video, directed and edited by Jack Lucas Laugeni, is available below.
Noir Addiction frontman Sonny Lanegan says this about the new single: “‘How She’s Got It’ is about that moment when something or someone loses its meaning, but you’re still caught in it. In the song, you’re observing, questioning, maybe even letting go, but at the same time you’re still drawn to it. That push and pull is what drives the whole track.”
He adds: “It’s not really about a person it’s about perception. How we project meaning onto things, how that meaning shifts, and how sometimes we just stop believing in it. The repetition in the chorus almost feels like trying to convince yourself of something, while knowing deep down it’s already gone.”
Lanegan also has this to say on the recording approach: “When we recorded it, the focus wasn’t on impact it was on distance. We approached the track almost like a fading memory, something that feels real while you’re inside it but starts to lose definition the more you look at it. The arrangement was intentionally built to feel circular, like you’re stuck in the same thought pattern, going over the same questions without ever getting a clear answer.”
And he continues: “We leaned into repetition and subtle shifts instead of big moments. Small changes in texture and slight variations in vocal delivery carry the emotional weight. The idea was to create a sense of emotional drift, where everything feels close but unreachable at the same time. Nothing fully resolves, and that’s intentional. It leaves you in that suspended state the lyrics are coming from.”
The lineup for this single and the upcoming EP consisted of Sonny Lanegan on vocals, guitars, synthesizers and programming, Nessie Zorba on keyboards and percussion, and Roberto Catanzaro on drums. “Pretty Things Don’t Last” was produced by Sonny Lanegan, engineered, mixed and mastered by Damiano Paoloni, and recorded at Sound Distillery in Italy.
