The bittersweet and amped-up indie-pop smash “Broken” catapulted Los Angeles trio lovelytheband into the spotlight in 2018. The infectious ode to working through mutual depression reached the alternative, rock and adult-contemporary charts, putting the nascent, heart-on-their-sleeve unit on the road to crafting their full statement of purpose, 2018’s Finding It Hard to Smile. The ambitious conversations with myself about you came in 2020, exploring mental health and heartbreak in scintillating, shout-along pop miniatures. The band returned to the mainstream again in 2023 with if we’re being honest, featuring “sail away”, a rousing anthem about wanting to leave the past—and the darkest parts of your brain—behind.
