Baby Lasagna today unveil their awaited
second album, End the Party. Following the eclectic world of their debut
DMNS & MOSQUITOES, the new record finds Baby Lasagna moving into decisively into heavier, more focused territory, built around weightier guitars, driving electronics, infectious hooks and the intensity of a live band.
Where
DMNS & MOSQUITOES moved freely between rock, metal, EDM and pop, End the Party feels more concentrated and physical. The guitars hit harder, the arrangements carry greater weight, and the record draws more directly on the music that shaped frontman
Marko Purišić long before Baby Lasagna became an international name. Yet the eccentricity, melody, theatricality and sense of humour that have become synonymous with Baby Lasagna remain firmly intact.
It’s Baby Lasagna returning to the heavier music that was there before any of this began.
The revolution is reflected in how the album was created.
End the Party was made collectively, with Marko writing and recording alongside the musicians around him – Matija Klaj (drums), Martin Purišić (bass guitar) and Roko Josipović (DJ) – bringing the chemistry and physicality of Baby Lasagna’s live show
directly into the studio. The result is a record that demands attention and feels designed to be played together and experienced at full volume – music that needs to live, breathe and hit on stage.
However, beneath the heavier sound and at its core,
End the Party is a deeply personal and introspective record. Written in the aftermath of their rapid rise to international attention, its songs confront pressure, public scrutiny and online hate, sleepless nights and self-doubt. It looks beyond the spectacle
and towards the person experiencing it.
Rather than allowing those struggles to become the destination, the record repeatedly chooses resistance. Its
songs make room for anger, fear and vulnerability, but push back against resignation, turning frustration and pain into something confrontational, cathartic and ultimately hopeful.
Marko Purišić said:
“This album is ‘stormborn’. It was written during the most hectic, demanding and confusing period of our lives, and it serves as a reflection of everything that was going on. Unlike the debut album, End the Party is more introspective, wrestling with
self-criticism while accepting the everlasting change that a human is. I like to think it invokes hope, patience and a healthy spite towards the inevitable life struggles.”
That philosophy runs throughout the album.
“Anyway” is about taking back control, refusing to compromise and holding onto what you know to be true regardless of expectations.
“All The Wrong Directions” turns its attention to a relationship built around exploitation and possession rather than genuine love. On
“My Show”, the album’s underdog refuses to leave the fight despite the wounds already sustained.
Elsewhere, the record becomes more vulnerable.
“Wake Up” captures the anxiety and overthinking of being awake alone while everyone else sleeps, while
“Would You?” confronts the fear of losing someone you love, running through worst-case scenarios as a way of exploring love, unity and the darker sides of two people.
The band’s own description of
End the Party is simple: a shoulder to cry on and the friend who refuses to let you stay down. The album doesn’t promise that everything will be fine. Instead, it argues that even when things aren’t fine, there is still a reason to keep moving.
Since their international breakthrough in 2024, Baby Lasagna have established themselves as one of Europe’s
most formidable live acts, with sold-out headline shows and festival performances at Nova Rock, Sziget, EXIT, Eurosonic and 2000 Trees. The
End the Party tour takes that next step, bringing the new material to UK and European audiences throughout November and December, including their biggest London headline show to date at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 22 November.
End the Party isn’t a departure from Baby Lasagna. It turns everything up: heavier, louder, more personal
and more determined than ever before.
