Phoneboy

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.
