A duo in the classic sense, Samuel Shea and Julien O’neill have known each other since 2014, honing the creative dynamic of WARBLY JETS over the course of a debut album, an EP, thousands of tour miles traveled, and too many hours in the studio to count. The result is the alternative duo’s second LP, MONSTERHOUSE (due out November 12)— a swing for the fences pulling from marquee influences like Rick Rubin, Run The Jewels, Billie Eilish, and 'Guero'-era Beck. The genre-defying duo describes MONSTERHOUSE as “a patchwork narrative of our own experiences over the last few years,” but listening through the other tracks, something much bigger arises. Motifs of technology overload, 24-hour news cycles, social media facades, and trying to find out who you actually are in the thick of all that, feel universal and surprisingly urgent as we find ourselves living in a world on the brink. How can we be at peace with ourselves when everything is on fire? Where do we find joy? What makes us human when we’re surrounded by machines? These are the questions WARBLY JETS grapple with, over hooky, groove-heavy tracks, layered with whirring synths and irresistible choruses—making for a new dystopian-pop that somehow feels just right for the current moment.
