Phony

<p>PHONY (the project of Neil Berthier, formerly of Donovan Wolfington and also a live member of Joyce Manor) will release its new LP titled &quot;Heater&quot; on Counter Intuitive Records, November 10, 2023. The album follows last year&#39;s At Some Point You Stop, and will contain 9 songs, including the previously released &quot;Caroline&quot;, along with its latest indiepunk/emo-pop leaning single &quot;Chinatown&quot; which can be streamed below.  About the new LP, Heater is a pure return to form. Following the sonic explorations of the well-received 2022 LP At Some Point You Stop, Phony emerges from that record&#39;s greif with a renewed sense of urgent energy. Phony mastermind Neil Berthier&#39;s sense of raw emotion moves flawlessly into every track, creating a punk rock sound that is unique, yet timeless and familiar. The intimacy of the sound blends with lyrics encapsulating themes of mortality, overcoming the monotony of modern life, and ultimately finding out who you are. There have been records like this before, but none with as many undeniable hooks and unforgettable lines as Heater.</p>

<p>About Phony and the upcoming release:</p>
<p>A lot has changed for Neil Berthier since he put out his last record as PHONY in 2020. After losing his father to dementia, moving from Boston to Los Angeles, joining Joyce Manor as an auxiliary guitarist/backing vocalist, and acclimating to the synergy of the zen-yet-rowdy Southern California lifestyle, things were simultaneously devastating and thrilling as he worked on the songs that would become his third solo album, AT SOME POINT YOU STOP. The stark contrast of these monumental life changes prompted Berthier to dig deeper than ever in his music, creating his most vulnerable and compelling work to date. “It’s called PHONY as an oxymoron. I want this to be the most personal, wearing my heart on my sleeve shit that I can possibly come up with,” he says.</p>
