Make Believe

Polished, stadium-ready power pop grappling with suburban isolation and meditative self-reflection. A pivot toward simpler, earnest songwriting and massive hooks.

Find on Amazon

Polished, towering radio-rock production encases some of the most nakedly apologetic and vulnerable songwriting in years. After a prolonged three-year recording process, this collection trades the aggressive, metal-edged swagger of the recent past for a massive, glossy sheen that amplifies every quiet sigh of suburban melancholy through a heavy, disciplined wall of sound.

Moments Worth Listening For
01Beverly HillsThe opening track 'Beverly Hills' pairs a simplistic, stomping drumbeat with a talk-box guitar effect to anchor its tongue-in-cheek celebrity commentary.
02Perfect SituationA soaring, wordless vocal chant opens 'Perfect Situation' before giving way to a driving, highly disciplined power-chord progression.
