Our 3rd album, complete with our aging-millennial, creeping sense of dread.

Press

"What the hell was adulthood supposed to be for our generation?"

"Local Phonies' new single 'Rat-Level' captures modern anxiety with a raw energy, marking a bold step in their evolving sound"

The lyric "I get the Sunday scaries every day of the week" strikes an immediate chord, distilling the gnawing unease of contemporary life into a single, unforgettable line.

Blending Americana, psych rock, and electronica with modern indie twists, the album reflects their evolution, with the lead single 'Rat-Level' capturing the raw, relatable tension of everyday existential anxiety through gritty, layered guitars and poignant lyricism.

Known for their eclectic sound and DIY spirit, the duo has created a record that feels both deeply personal and sonically expansive, blending Americana, psych rock, electronica, and indie rock into a cohesive, boundary-pushing statement.

It's an anthem of unease, but it's also an undeniable jam—a testament to Local Phonies' ability to make the weight of the world feel oddly exhilarating.
