I Dont Know How but They Found Me, iDKHOW to its friends, is Dallon Weekes's baby: a Salt Lake City indie pop project that dresses modern hooks in new wave, dance-rock and electronic rock, as if a lost cassette from the era of skinny ties had turned up in a basement. For most of its life it was a duo, with Weekes alongside drummer Ryan Seaman, his bandmate from The Brobecks, until Seaman was let go in 2023.
The best trick came at the start. They built the band in secret and flatly denied it existed, letting the rumors swirl before they finally stepped forward with the 1981 Extended Play EP in 2018. "Choke" is the one that stuck: a jittery, sneering little thing with a chorus that bites. By then they were being hyped as the hottest band without a deal, and Fearless Records soon fixed that.
Razzmatazz, the proper debut album, landed in 2020, and it is exactly as glittery as the name promises. "Leave Me Alone" struts, "New Invention" hums along with a wink. Gloom Division followed four years later, with Weekes carrying the project on his own.
