Goodbye Lullaby

A pivot toward intimacy featuring stripped-back acoustic guitars and piano. This record trades bratty rebellion for a quiet, post-divorce vulnerability.

Quiet consolidation

A quiet, acoustic-led stillness replaces the high-decibel shouting of previous records, trading arena-sized pop-punk for the woody resonance of a piano pedal and dry guitars. The songwriting leans into a vulnerable, late-night intimacy that frames heartbreak and adult transitions with a stark, spacious restraint.
