lolitslea Releases Sophomore Album ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON
The band's new record channels 2000s culture with sound design and nods to early digital media.
The wait is over for RollerCoaster Tycoon, the sophomore album from neon pop punk artist lolitslea. Along with the release comes a new music video for the album's title track; fans can stream the album — which features previous releases 'Summer 09', 'BURNOUT!! BURNOUT!!', and 'Tragedy featuring Jack the Underdog' — now at ffm.to/lolitslea_rollercoastertycoon.
'RollerCoaster Tycoon is not only an iconic computer game from the early 2000s, it's a way of life,' shares Lea. 'If I had to describe my life's anthem or pick a 'soundtrack to my life', this would be it, I wrote it! Life is a rollercoaster (cliche). You can become a part of my chaos, but if you can't handle it, there's the door!'
Fans can join lolitslea in celebrating the release of RollerCoaster Tycoon this Thursday, September 17th at a hometown album release show at Lokal Brewing Company in Point Pleasant. lolitslea will also be performing this fall in Brooklyn, State College, and Johnson City.

About lolitslea
Everything lolitslea touches turns to vibrant shades of blue and green. From her iconic split-dye hair to her fiery presence on and off stage, Lea is bringing back the Neon Pop Punk era one release at a time. She's a product of the Asbury Park music scene, and it shows: the grit of the Stone Pony mixed with the bright, kitschy colors of the Jersey Shore are evident in her sound.
lolitslea released her debut LP, Nothing Lasts Forever!, in October 2024. The 8-track collection of songs features a slew of collaborators, including Chase Coy, Tom Denney (formerly of A Day To Remember), Kellin Quinn (Sleeping With Sirens), and Joshua Roberts (Magnolia Park). The record garnered praise from tastemakers such as Jesea Lee and Scene Daddy, and earned rotation on idobi Radio.
She's entering a new era with her sophomore record, RollerCoaster Tycoon, which will immerse listeners into Lea's fluorescent world. The album features new collaborations with songwriters such as Cassadee Pope and Tony Pietrafesa, as well as the intricate worldbuilding of a favorite video game.
