Southern California’s popfree return with their debut LP, "Overt", an emotionally charged record built around the harder parts of being human. Drawing from alternative, emo, and post-hardcore, the band expands on their previous EP, "Spring", while reconnecting with the music that inspired them to start playing in the first place.
Written as a cohesive band, "Overt" moves through sadness, anger, disappointment, frustration, and the feeling of just wanting to give up, ultimately finding something hopeful in confronting those feelings together. Recorded and mixed by Colin Knight at Paradise Studios in Anaheim and mastered by Ben Harris, the record captures a band continuing to develop its sound without sacrificing the urgency and sincerity at the core of what they do. A band dead set on pushing the listener to feel driven by the music. To engage and to get out and see the band live, where popfree are arguably at their most electric and genuine.
"Overt" is about finding an outlet, finding connection, and reminding yourself that you're not the only one going through it. It is an example of art in its purest form: honest, unfiltered, and created simply because it needs to exist.
