Phoneboy Returns with New Song “I Look Alive”
New Jersey-based indie rock band Phoneboy, contisting of Jordan Torres (vocals), Wyn Barnum (guitar), Ricky Dana (guitar) and bassist James Fusco (bass), returned with a new song “I Look Alive” on October 10, 2024.
The song is their first music since the 2023 album “Moving Out”.
Also, it is the first release after the band new member Jordan Torres joinend in the band.
The track was written by James Fusco, Jordan Torres, Richard Dana, and Wyn Barnum. Produced by Ayad al Adhamy.
The band said of the song, “'I Look Alive' is about getting smacked in the face by your insecurities and the little lies you tell to seem like you’re not losing your mind. When you’ve convinced yourself you’re not good enough or cool enough, it feels like everybody’s eyes are on you, judging every word you say and every move you make. Sitting in the corner of a party absolutely reeling, you hide behind a cigarette, a half empty glass, or a joke. In the moment, this works just fine but the feeling just builds inside you until it’s just too much to take. We wrote the song for anyone who’s ever felt alive on the outside while dying inside.”- The accompanying music video was directed by Lianne Rose Richards.
The band said of the video, “Since this is our first song that Jordan is singing lead on, we wanted the music video to put her in the spotlight and be wildly ambitious. The record also has a lot of 80s-style synths, and we all love Halloween. So 1980s zombie prom sort of made perfect sense!” - source : Apple Music
