The Jaws of Brooklyn have shared \u201cLie To Me,\u201d the latest offering from their EP \u2018Unstoppable\u2019, out now. The cheerful, tongue-in-cheek track grapples with a relationship falling apart while clinging to the comfort of denial.<\/p>\n<p>Guitarist Bryan Cohen lays out the heart of it. \u201c\u2018Lie To Me\u2019 is about a long distance relationship that is not working, at all. It\u2019s the otherworldly feeling of knowing that you and your person aren\u2019t connecting anymore and are stuck miles apart. The protagonist knows they are not getting what they need but it\u2019s 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\u2019t been there?\u201d The music, he adds, took inspiration from Stevie Wonder\u2019s \u201cSigned, Sealed, Delivered (I\u2019m Yours),\u201d built around lots of vocals over a sparse, groovy, danceable backbone.<\/p>\n<p>The single follows the shimmering call-to-the-dancefloor \u201cWhere Are You?\u201d, which also appears on the EP. Co-produced with Grammy winner and Alabama Shakes keyboardist Ben Tanner, \u2018Unstoppable\u2019 finds the Seattle five-piece blending Motown melody, Muscle Shoals soul, and West Coast rock &amp; roll into the signature melting-pot sound that\u2019s 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\u2019s powerhouse presence.<\/p>\n<p>The EP keeps the momentum rolling after the band\u2019s 2025 album \u2018Crush On You\u2019, released during a whirlwind of transit and transition. The addition of Lemon as the group\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Track Listing:<\/p>\n<p>Where Are You?<\/p>\n<p>Lie to Me<\/p>\n<p>Unstoppable<\/p>\n<p>Up All Night<\/p>\n<p>Summer We Forgot<\/p>\n<p>Done With You<\/p>\n<p>Kiss Me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201960s girl-group glitter meets the painful comfort of pretending everything\u2019s fine.
