About the album:

Love and Everything Depressing was written in the wake of Disco Puppet’s tinnitus and hyperacusis in 2019, both disorders in the perception of sound.

In the album, we see Disco Puppet’s process evolve to use elements of their signature sound, adding a more traditional approach to songwriting. This has resulted in their most approachable album yet while retaining Disco Puppet’s distinct identity. As the title suggests, Love and Everything Depressing deals with themes of yearning, love and the absurdity of growing older.
