Acclaimed Californian band Joyce Manor – Barry Johnson (vocals and guitar), Chase Knobbe (guitar), Jeff Enzor (drums), and Matt Ebert (bass) – have announced the release of their anticipated new album entitled Cody which arrives in stores this October 7th, care of Epitaph. It is the follow-up to the band’s 2014’s critically-lauded record Never Hungover Again.
While the band’s Epitaph debut Never Hungover Again was recorded in a mere ten days, Cody is the result of two months in the studio with renowned producer Rob Schnapf, credited on classics by Elliot Smith, Guided By Voices, Saves The Day and Rancid among others.
As the band’s guitarist and singer Barry Johnson explains: ‘It was the first time we really used the studio to our advantage.
‘I felt like I could get a better grasp on what we could do.
‘We always recorded like a punk band—go in and lay ‘em down! Just get good takes! And this time we tried a lot more.’
You can listen to Fake I.D. from the upcoming album below.
The result is a record that dares to be humble, intimate and unapologetically human. Cody is the album where the band moves past simple pop and punk. It’s a moment for clarity and creative renewal. Without losing any of the emotional power fans love, the band is defiantly looking towards the future.
Pre-orders for Cody are available now!
