Helena Straight and Stella Wave, former members of Hello Mary, have signed to London label AD 93 and shared a new single entitled “Die” under the name Nine Perfect Lives.

Along with the song comes a music video directed by Milo Hume. Watch and listen:

According to Straight:

"I started writing ‘Die’ when I was living in LA and Stella was still in Brooklyn. We made deliberate efforts to stay in touch and work on music, but I wasn’t yet sure when or if I was moving back to New York. I wrote and recorded a demo of the song in a few hours and realized that it was a direct response to Stella’s heartbreak and confusion about my impulsive move across the country. Fleshing out the demo together felt effortless and reinforced our creative bond, which was compromised in the context of Hello Mary at that time. ‘Die’ became the first NPL song, so we are pleased for it to be our first single.”
