Montreal’s The Fake Friends are set to release their debut album, Let’s Not Overthink This, on February 13, 2026, with "Sucker Born Every Minute" as the first single. Building on their 2022 EP Good Enough and the upcoming Always Worse / Never Better, this album showcases an evolution in their sound through richer arrangements and a blend of post-hardcore and power pop influences. The album, engineered by Jordan Barillaro, continues to capture the energetic volume fans expect from their live performances.
The single is available on major streaming platforms, accompanied by a music video directed by David Hughes.
Discussion Point: As The Fake Friends integrate broader musical influences and arrangements, how might this evolution impact their identity and connection with fans who resonated with their earlier, rawer sound?
