Regrettes – How Do You Love?

Regrettes How Do You Love? vinyl is the format this record deserves, a proper full-length pressing on Warner Bros. that captures the Los Angeles band’s sophomore album in its best possible form. The Regrettes built a dedicated following with their 2017 debut, Feel Your Feelings Fool!, and this follow-up showed exactly what they could do with a little more room to grow.

The Regrettes and the Road to How Do You Love?

The Regrettes emerged from the Los Angeles DIY scene with a sound rooted in classic punk and pop sensibilities, fronted by Lydia Night, who was still a teenager when the band first broke through. Feel Your Feelings Fool! introduced them as a sharp, energetic act with a lot to say. How Do You Love? is the record where they pushed further into the emotional and sonic territory that debut hinted at. The writing is more focused, the arrangements more considered, and the band sounds like one that has spent real time on the road figuring out who they are.

What Regrettes How Do You Love? Vinyl Captures

The album is built around a single through-line: the arc of a relationship, from the early pull of attraction through to its unraveling. That kind of conceptual focus gives the record a cohesion that works especially well on vinyl, where you sit with a side at a time and let the sequencing do its job. The lead single “I Dare You” is the obvious anchor, a confident and direct track that showed real commercial reach without softening the band’s edge. The rest of the album earns that single’s company. On wax, the dynamic range and the texture of the production come through in ways a stream simply does not deliver.

Pressing and Format Details

This is the standard LP release on Warner Bros. Records, catalog number 596099. Warner Bros. pressings from this era are generally clean and well-mastered, and for a guitar-driven rock record like this one, the format holds up well. If you came to the Regrettes through streaming and never picked up a physical copy, this is the one to own. It sits comfortably alongside other Warner-era indie and punk-adjacent releases in a collection, and it represents a genuine document of a young band hitting a confident stride. For collectors with an interest in the early-2000s-influenced punk revival or Los Angeles indie rock more broadly, How Do You Love? holds a real and specific place in that conversation.
