now THIS is podcasting (An Interview with Eric Butler)

Have you ever seen that meme of two houses, the pink house is
labeled “melody” and the all black house next to it is labeled
“lyrics?” Yeah….that’s the Mom Jeans. discography. Their genius
lies in this very dichotomy: the ability to pair feel good,
pop-rock riffs with darker, introspective songwriting. With
lyrics like “pull the skin off my bones/so that I can finally
breathe freely for the first fucking time in my life,” Puppy
Loveisn’t shying away from the shadowy side of the mind. The
sophomore album tackles themes of depression, anxiety,
existential unrest, and the steps we must take towards finding
love and light in spite of this darkness. Their candor and
transparency keeps the content relatable and grounded, while
their quippy pop culture laden song titles lend some levity to
the rather heavy lyrics at hand. Mom Jeans. is a breath of fresh
air band that isn’t willing to forfeit their sense of humor for
some serious storytelling.
