Review
Spacey Jane’s sophomore effort, "Here Comes Everybody," really nails that sweet spot between catchy indie rock vibes and diving deep into life's darker moments. Dropping in 2022, it explores some tough themes like mental health and personal identity, all while keeping listeners hooked with killer harmonies and hooks.
The title, nodding to Wilco's "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot," hints at the theme of navigating anxiety and relationships. Caleb Harper’s lyrics dig into his own experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and grappling with self-identity. There's a noticeable growth from their debut album "Sunlight"—this one's more refined and feels like the band has really come into their own.
Tracks like "Sitting Up," "Lunchtime," and "Lots of Nothing" show off Spacey Jane's knack for creating infectious tunes you can't help but sing along to. Meanwhile, songs like "Clean My Car" and "Hardlight" dive into more intense emotional territory, balancing the album out nicely.
There’s a hopeful thread running through songs like "Yet" and "Pulling Through", offering some much-needed positivity and resilience. "Here Comes Everybody" truly highlights Spacey Jane's evolution, proving they can deliver music that hits hard both sonically and emotionally. - Ethan
