mama’s boy

A pivot from neon-lit city streets to sun-drenched heartland heritage. Polished pop melodies meet acoustic guitars and themes of family, faith, and home.

It's like LANY went back to Oklahoma, traded their synths for acoustic guitars, and wrote a love letter to their parents.

A warm, sentimental embrace of heritage and home that feels both grand and deeply personal.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The soaring, U2-esque guitar delay and communal energy that opens the album on you!

The unexpected arrival of a gospel choir on i still talk to jesus adding a weight of spiritual searching.

The stripped-back, tear-jerking simplicity of the acoustic tribute to parents on if this is the last time.
