The LA indie band untitled (halo) has unveiled their self-titled debut album, teasing the track "aimee lou wood freestyle" with a captivating freestyle verse from actress Aimee Lou Wood.

The new track boasts a glossy, chaotic presentation that hints at untitled (halo)'s broader musical ambitions. The full tracklist includes 11 songs, with the album's release date and tour dates announced.
