The new single "I Disappear" by Portland-based indie-pop duo New Constellations continues to carve out an emotionally honest lane. The song is the fifth sneak peek from their first album, "It Comes in Waves," which will be released on May 15, 2026, through Nettwerk. It sounds like one of their most open and honest songs yet.
New Constellations, which includes singer Harlee Case and multi-instrumentalist Josh Smith, really digs deep into their own thoughts on "I Disappear." The song talks about the uncomfortable truths of anxiety and self-doubt, and it captures what it's like to lose yourself while you're stuck in your own head. The song doesn't try to fix those feelings, instead, it lets them be messy, cyclical, and very human.
Harlee Pierpoint Case and Joshua Ryan Smith wrote "I Disappear," and Smith and Michael McGarity made it. It sounds like a real conversation between two people. The case says the song is a stream of consciousness that came from a tough time in his life and was shaped by the scary thought that spiraling thoughts can pull you out of the present moment. The song's emotional weight comes from the tension between believing in manifestation and being afraid of getting stuck in your own mental loops.
"I Disappear" doesn't try to be perfect or polished for its own sake. It doesn't do that, though. Instead, it invites listeners to share an experience of uncertainty and connect through honesty. New Constellations are making music that stays with you long after the last note fades. They aren't afraid to sit with discomfort, and with It Comes in Waves on the horizon, they are showing that.
