On The Other End Of The Line

East Coast indie rock duo Joyer, the project of brothers Nick and Shane Sullivan, are excited to announce their new album, On The Other End of the Line…, out October 24, 2025, via beloved tastemaker label Julia’s War Recordings. On The Other End of the Line… was recorded at Palisade Studios in Chicago and produced by Slow Pulp’s Henry Stoehr. “Cure” is the first preview of the upcoming LP, which name drops the record’s title across twinkling and twangy guitars, expressing curiosity and compassion for the tiny moments that bind the world together.

“This song is about loneliness and searching for connection in any and every place. I wrote this one from the perspective of a made-up character, but it definitely has some personal feelings mixed in,” Shane Sullivan explains. “I was thinking a lot about how a small or seemingly inconsequential interaction with a stranger at a bar or a customer service worker over the phone can be meaningful or fulfilling.”

An official music video for “Cure” accompanies the track’s release, which immerses its viewer in a hazy, yellow-tinted New York City. The nostalgia-invoking video features the band performing on a rooftop among scenic shots of the city, pigeons, laundry and various everyday sights. Similarly to the track, the video shines light on the small moments in someone’s life and how impactful those moments can be.

Joyer is a longstanding, cult favorite of the East Coast DIY scene. Since their inception in the late 2010s, Nick and Shane have become known for touring with bands like Horse Jumper of Love, Wishy, and villagerrr while releasing consistently bigger and louder indie rock records like 2024’s widely acclaimed Night Songs. With On The Other End of the Line…, they strip things back to take things to the next level and create songs bursting with melody and emotion in the process.

Joyer will hit the road this winter, supporting Teethe with villagerrr across the Midwest.
