The new single "I Disappear" by the Portland-based indie-pop duo New Constellations, released on January 16, 2026, goes even deeper into emotional honesty. The song is the fifth single from their upcoming debut album, "It Comes in Waves," which will be released on May 15, 2026, by Nettwerk. It feels like a turning point in the band's story.
New Constellations is a band made up of singer Harlee Case and multi-instrumentalist Josh Smith. They are known for blending personal lyrics with smooth, atmospheric pop. "I Disappear" follows that path, but with a sharper edge. The song is between self-awareness and overwhelm. It captures the feeling of being stuck in your own head while the world goes on around you.
Case and Smith wrote the song, and Smith and Michael McGarity produced it. The song is very introspective. It looks at anxiety and self-doubt not as ideas, but as real-life experiences, those times when your thoughts spiral out of control and take you away from the present. It feels like the song is just documenting a moment, not trying to fix it. There's a sense of openness here that feels unfiltered.
Harlee Case talks about how writing is like a stream of consciousness that comes from a hard time in her life. She talks about the paradox of manifestation and the fear of being stuck in a negative mental loop. That honesty is what makes "I Disappear" so powerful. It doesn't give easy answers, instead, it asks people to sit with the feeling and see themselves in it. As It Comes in Waves gets closer, "I Disappear" stands out as a defining release. It shows that New Constellations aren't afraid to look inside themselves and turn openness into connection.
