iDKHOW drop another album spoiler while reimagining their first single
Dallon Weekes and Ryan Seaman shared a minimalistic, reimagined version of iDKHOW’s first-ever single “Modern Day Cain” for Fearless Records‘ livestream, Fearless At Home.
Rather than loud, high-energy synths, the duo opted for piano, creating a more eerie feel for this version of their 2017 track in this “Superstar Showcase.” In typical iDKHOW fashion, the video is shot in a home-movie format, transporting viewers back to VHS days.

After iDKHOW shared the retro “Modern Day Cain” video, Weekes answered fan questions and shared some insight into the new album and his band’s aesthetic.
Weekes shared that iDKHOW’s aesthetic comes from “a lot of stuff from when I was a kid like books on tape and vinyls and thrift stores and old TV commercials and movies. What it was like discovering art and music when I was a kid… I wanted to try to recreate that feeling.”
He also disclosed that there will be a guest vocalist on the upcoming record, but he did not name the artist in question.
AltPress had a chance to ask Weekes about the duo’s forthcoming record, see how he’s holding up at home and look back at iDKHOW’s beginnings. Check out the full interview below, the recent rendition of “Modern Day Cain” and the fan Q&A below.
