Indie rock band, Phoneboy, have announced that their new album, Heartbreak Designer, is to be released on April 25th, via AWAL records (formerly Artists Without A Label). Following the previous singls, “Better Than You,” and “I Look Alive,” the band have just dropped another track from the album, “Red Wine.” Check out the music video below and find out more.
“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. We’re really proud of Heartbreak Designer—it’s easily the best thing we’ve done so far. It’s our second time recording in Brooklyn with Ayad Al Adhamy, and this time we’ve got Jordan Torres on keys and vocals, which adds a whole new layer to the sound. We tried out a bunch of new ideas on this record, taking more inspiration from other genres and music we love. The reaction to the lead single, “I Look Alive,” has been amazing at shows, and we can’t wait to bring the rest of the songs to stages across the country.”
Phoneboy’s third album, Heartbreak Designer, 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.
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.
In support of their new music the band is about to go on the road as support with Good Kid. Then catch the band on their headlining tour this spring as they bring Heartbreak Designer to life on stage.

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.
