hey thanks. returns with a darker, more deliberate sound. Blending post-punk and new wave influences, their sophomore full-length, Avoidance, reflects on time, identity, and the weight of isolation.
Avoidance finds hey thanks. stepping back from trying to explain everything and sitting in the uncertainty instead.
The record centers on time, identity, and the gap between what you feel and what you can actually make sense of. Across these songs, nothing fully resolves. Moments repeat, thoughts loop, and meaning stays just out of reach. It lives in that in-between space, caught between experience and understanding.
Recorded in their home studio, the album took shape piece by piece using live drum samples, layered percussion, guitar performances, and dense synth work, giving Avoidance its character. The band allowed the songs to unfold naturally, arriving somewhere more honest in the process.
Built on synth layers, live percussion, and bright, driving rhythms, the songs move with a steady pulse while never fully settling. There is a constant push and pull throughout, something that feels light on the surface but carries weight underneath.
Rather than offering clarity, Avoidance stays with the questions.
