Role Model Hermit is a collection of dark fables, intricate melodies and moments of revelation. Mary in the junkyard wrote the album between the UK and US and recorded it in London during the summer of 2025 with producer Oli Bayston (Boxed In). Throughout its runtime, the album walks the line between fact and fiction with a real sense of bite and moments of poignancy, while always creeping into the phantasmagoric.

Role Model Hermit showcases a band with full belief in their abilities. As The Face predicted, “mary in the junkyard’s breakout moment beckons.” From extensive tours of the UK and Europe, to a three-month North American run supporting Wet Leg, where they road-tested the new songs, plus a recent KEXP session, mary in the junkyard have been carefully building up to this.
