Exit Wounds is the third extended play (EP) by Australian indie rock band Spacey Jane, released by AWAL and Concord on 12 June 2026.

Produced by Day Wave and John Hill, Exit Wounds was written and recorded during the same studio sessions as their third studio album, If That Makes Sense (2025). The EP was preceded by two singles: "Do You Really Love Her" and "I Never See Her".

Exit Wounds debuted and peaked at number 43 on the ARIA Albums Chart following its release.

Background and release

Exit Wounds follows on from Spacey Jane's third studio album, If That Makes Sense (2025),[1] and subsequent sold-out headline tours in Australia, New Zealand, North America, the UK, and Europe, and a performance at Governors Ball Music Festival in New York City, New York.[2]

The title and cover artwork were revealed on 15 May 2026, alongside the announcement of an Australian tour that November.[3] Exit Wounds was released by AWAL and Concord Records on 12 June 2026.[2] The EP was described by a number of media outlets as being "highly anticipated".[2][4]

Recording and composition

Exit Wounds was largely recorded in Los Angeles, California by Day Wave, during the same recording session as their third studio album, If That Makes Sense (2025). The record was mixed by American mixing engineer Lars Stalfors.[1] The band believed that each of the songs didn't feel right to include on the album and as such they were omitted.[5]

"Do You Really Love Her" was written on Mulholland Drive alongside Sarah Aarons and Joel Little.[5] The band referenced 80s pub rock bands, including INXS and Icehouse, to create an "expansive" and "dramatic" sound. Its lyrics, "part fiction, part reality", envisage frontman Caleb Harper being stood up, only to see his date on a movie screen.[5] "I Never See Her" combines somber vocals and lyrics about an imminent breakup with an upbeat melody including "twanging guitar and thumping percussion".[6] The song was initially written in a tempo of 60 beats per minute (BPM) slower.[6]
