Details

Phoneboy’s third album,‬‭ Heartbreak Designer‬‭, out in‬‭ April 2025, is the next chapter for the‬ ‭ indie-rock group, blending their signature infectious energy with a more refined, introspective‬ ‭sound. Following the success of‬‭ Moving Out‬‭, the album‬‭ explores love, loss, and self-discovery,‬ ‭ marking a new level of depth in their songwriting and production.‬

‭Formed in 2018 by Wyn Barnum, Ricky Dana, and James Fusco, Phoneboy started as three‬ ‭ college friends making music in a scene with little space for indie rock. What began as campus‬ ‭ shows soon turned into packed venues, millions of streams, and a reputation for high-energy‬ ‭ performances. After years of playing alongside the band, longtime friend Jordan Torres officially‬ ‭ joined on keys and vocals, bringing a fresh dynamic to their sound.‬

‭“This is the most complete record we’ve made,” says the band. “It’s still us at the core, but we‬ ‭ pushed ourselves further creatively.” Produced in Brooklyn with Ayad Al Adhamy,‬‭ Heartbreak‬ ‭Designer‬‭ builds on the band’s hook-driven style while‬‭ experimenting with new textures and‬ ‭ influences. Lead single “I Look Alive” has already made waves, landing in Sirius XM/Alt Nation’s‬ ‭Top 18 and setting the stage for the full release.‬

‭With this record, Phoneboy isn’t just evolving—they’re defining their place in the indie rock‬ ‭landscape. Catch them on tour this year as they bring‬‭ Heartbreak Designer‬‭ to life on stage.‬
