New York, NY (December 5, 2025) — Portland-based duo New Constellations — lifelong friends Harlee Case and Josh Smith — return with “Secret Safe” today, a radiant new single out now via Nettwerk, listen HERE and watch the official lyric video HERE. The track builds on the dreamy momentum of their recent release “Believe Again” and offers another intimate glimpse into the pair’s forthcoming debut LP, arriving in 2026. Driven by galloping rhythms, shimmering synths, and the duo’s signature atmospheric vocals, “Secret Safe” contemplates the unchanging nature of best friendship, even when a close connection moves far away. What begins as a quiet reflection unfurls into one of New Constellations’ most emotional and expansive moments yet and is a reminder that the people who shape us never really leave. “‘Secret Safe’ is an ode to friendship,” shares Harlee. “It speaks to the power in the ability for friendship to transcend time and distance. It is also directly about, and dedicated to 4 of our friends who were planning on leaving Portland around the time we wrote it, a reminder to them, and ourselves, that no matter how far away, or how long it’s been, they will always have a special place in our lives and our hearts.” Josh adds, “True friendships surpass distance. It doesn’t matter how long I go without seeing you. Like, we love you, and we’ll always love you, and that’s enough. Our love is enough.” Following a landmark year that included 34 sold-out U.S. headline shows, a rapidly expanding fanbase, and over 100 million streams on their breakout debut single “Hot Blooded,” the band will enter 2026 with a renewed sense of clarity and creative fire. Their viral NPR Tiny Desk submission for “Hot Blooded” (WATCH HERE) is now nearing one million views and continues to introduce new listeners to the duo’s luminous world. “Secret Safe” serves as another early window into the band’s 2026 debut album, a project written over three years and recorded between Portland and Los Angeles. Rooted in Harlee and Josh’s belief that life, love, grief, and joy all arrive in waves, the new song, as with “Believe Again,” highlights what makes their partnership so magnetic: vulnerability without fear, emotion without excess, and an instinctive sonic chemistry forged over fifteen years of friendship. New Constellations is shaped by Harlee and Josh’s enduring creative bond. What began as two Oregon teenagers experimenting with sound in a childhood bedroom has evolved into one of indie pop’s most exciting new voices. Harlee and Josh now turn toward the release of their long-awaited debut LP, coming in 2026. “Secret Safe” is available everywhere today via Nettwerk – listen HERE and watch HERE. |
