Today, Greg Freeman releases his already acclaimed new record  All Set The Bone , which has been named one of the most anticipated albums of the fall by the  New York Times  and  Pitchfork . He has also shared a new video for the final single "Loser's Prize." On “Loser’s Prize,” Freeman writes about the fears of love “nursed by catastrophe, yet protected by the limits of its own memory.” Just as he did on  I Looked Out  and  Burnover , he dives well and far here into what it costs to live through the present moment, and his band’s instrumentation mirrors that with dense song structures and spacious improvisation.  Stream "All Set The Bone" Watch "Loser's Prize" Order All Set The Bone  

  Today, Jawdropped release their debut album  Secret To Spare , alongside a video for their latest single "The Line" directed by the band's drummer Cook Lee-Chobanian In the band's words, "‘The Line’ was the last song we recorded for the album. It came together really fast in the final days before we went to the studio. The lyrics came really fast as well. I was going through an intense period of self-reflection and it felt like parts of my life were unraveling. I was trying to confront this idea that sometimes life is this thing that you can’t “solve”, you just have to take it day by day.”  Stereogum , who profiled the band this week, say "Jawdropped give us gem after gem, brimming with hooks and dynamism, vibrant enough to make retro sounds feel like the future."

  Today, Greg Freeman  releases "Cahokia," the ferocious and thought-provoking new single from his recently announced forthcoming album,  All Set The Bone .  The John Congelton-produced album is due October 2nd.  “Cahokia,” the album’s opening track and thesis statement, invokes the American civilization that rose, thrived, and then vanished in the Middle Ages. It’s a metaphor for contemporary society, where consumerism, environmental anxiety, and authoritarian threats compound and we all become participants as well as victims in this vicious cycle.

  Today, Jawdropped release “Cup,” the driving new single from the LA band’s anticipated debut album,  Secret To Spare , out September 18th.  In the band's words, "The idea for ‘Cup’ actually came from an older song of ours called ‘Star.’ We wanted to write about this same character who moves to LA with stars in their eyes, only to see themselves burnout. It's about getting swept up in the ‘idea’ of a place, rather than the reality. Realizing you're the last one at the party." Secret to Spare at once feels classic and immediate—a pitch-perfect melange of big-hearted indie rock, the sour-sweet sounds of ‘90s alternative radio, and the shaggy-and-ragged sound of alt-country.

Tickets on sale Friday, July 24th.  Stream Indu Pre-Order All Set The Bone In Greg's words, " I had this epiphany moment where I understood what the next record should be,” he says, “which surprised me, because I thought it would take a lot longer to have the influences or inspiration required to undertake writing a new album.” What arrived instead were radioactive songs that never seemed overworked or moralizing. Freeman calls All Set The Bone a “reflection of a lot of change, and a lot of tension.” It’s a box of political and personal yarns spread across four sides, “inhuman events” and grief pulled into a “perfect tsunami.” While writing and recording it, Freeman moved out of his longtime home in Bu...

Alongside the album announcement,  Jawdropped share anthemic lead single "Split Lip" with summery music video  directed by Rob Fraebel. At large,  Secret To Spare  is lyrically driven by what Zangari defines as “stories you’ve overheard as a barfly.” “I’m always writing based off of things that I hear, or something that happened to a friend,” Morling explains regarding the blend of raconteurish-ness and interior voyeurism that makes up these twin lyricists’ POV. “L.A. is this destination that so many people move to with a dream of having this exciting life in the arts,” Zangari adds. “There's so many crazy people you meet across that spectrum of failure and success, and I'm really fascinated by those...
