’60s girl-group glitter meets the painful comfort of pretending everything’s fine. The Jaws of Brooklyn have shared “Lie To Me,” the latest offering from their EP ‘Unstoppable’, out now. The cheerful, tongue-in-cheek track grapples with a relationship falling apart while clinging to the comfort of denial.
Guitarist Bryan Cohen lays out the heart of it. “‘Lie To Me’ is about a long distance relationship that is not working, at all. It’s the otherworldly feeling of knowing that you and your person aren’t connecting anymore and are stuck miles apart. The protagonist knows they are not getting what they need but it’s too painful to confront or end it. Instead, they keep kicking the can down the road and continuing the illusion that the relationship will work out. Who hasn’t been there?” The music, he adds, took inspiration from Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours),” built around lots of vocals over a sparse, groovy, danceable backbone.
The single follows the shimmering call-to-the-dancefloor “Where Are You?”, which also appears on the EP. Co-produced with Grammy winner and Alabama Shakes keyboardist Ben Tanner, ‘Unstoppable’ finds the Seattle five-piece blending Motown melody, Muscle Shoals soul, and West Coast rock & roll into the signature melting-pot sound that’s earned praise from American Songwriter and Billboard. The songs dive headfirst into the human experience, writing vulnerably about love triangles, relationships, and ride-or-die friendships, all anchored by frontwoman Gretchen Lemon’s powerhouse presence.
The EP keeps the momentum rolling after the band’s 2025 album ‘Crush On You’, released during a whirlwind of transit and transition. The addition of Lemon as the group’s electric new singer reenergized them, and their show-stopping performances cemented their reputation as a must-see live act, booking festival slots at SXSW and Bumbershoot while packing venues on both coasts.
