AUSTRALIAN INDIE-ROCK BAND SPACEY JANE RETURN WITH NEW ALBUM

If That Makes Sense

OUT MAY 9 VIA CONCORD

Australian indie-rock quartet Spacey Jane will release their highly anticipated third studio album, If That Makes Sense, on May 9 via Concord.

If That Makes Sense is Spacey Jane’s most ambitious record to date, seeing the band explore new facets of their sound and dive deeper into themes of falling in and out of love, overcoming trauma and learning to pick up the pieces. Produced by Mike Crossey (The 1975, Arctic Monkeys, Wolf Alice), the band also collaborated with songwriters Jackson “Day Wave” Phillips and Sarah Aarons (Childish Gambino, Miley Cyrus, Lykke Li) to bring this project to life.

On creating the album, the band shares, “This album isn’t trying to be anything in particular. Sometimes it is sure of itself and other times it whispers uncertainty. It feels like a contradiction of forgiveness and anger, love and breakdown and that's what I was trying to reconcile in the title. It's hard to give it a theme other than an overwhelming sense of confusion and a less than successful attempt to tie up emotional loose ends. We went to the U.S., we put our faith in new collaborators and finished making a self funded record without a label home for it. We stepped off the cliff everyday and loved it and we have never been happier with our work than we are now.”

The new album follows 2022’s Here Comes Everybody and 2020’s Sunlight. The band became a hometown sensation after the release of Sunlight, topping Triple J’s annual album poll with breakout single “Booster Seat” and earning the ARIA  for Song of the Year. Inspired by the success of their debut album, Spacey Jane got to work on their sophomore album, which debuted at #1 on the ARIA Charts and earned them the title of Triple J’s most played artist in 2022. With two critically acclaimed albums under their belt and chemistry that’s stronger than ever, Spacey Jane are swinging for the fences on their forthcoming record.

Formed in Perth, Western Australia in 2016, Spacey Jane have expanded their reach far beyond their hometown. With more than half a billion streams to date and countless sold-out tours, the band has built a loyal following through their dreamy, vulnerable sound and unforgettable live performances.

KEEP UP WITH SPACEY JANE
