On January 30, 2026– DIY artist Kerrin Connolly released their new single “Big Amygdala” that truly encapsulates the personal struggle with dealing with having obsessive-compulsive disorder. The single is filled with vulnerability and it allows the listener to understand that living day to day can cause such emotional turmoil with having OCD and at times you feel like the world will continue spinning while you stay consistently stuck in your mind.

“Big Amygdala” has a nostalgic 2000’s pop-punk vibes to it that will capture the attention of a larger fanbase

“As usual, there’s still some playfulness in this one – taking the whole ‘Big ____ Doesn’t Want You To Know’ and other popular bait headlines to underscore how having OCD can feel like everything is a huge conspiracy, but maybe your brain is just being mean to you and you need to let go a little to find and keep your peace. Stop ruminating on what ifs and be OK with not knowing the answer.” – Connolly

Kerrin Connolly will be releasing their full album Simpleton on February 20 and the following day they will be having their album release show at The Burren in Somerville, Massachusetts.
