Perth indie giants Spacey Jane have today announced the release of their third album ‘If That Makes Sense’ on 9 May 2025 and unveiled a dynamic new single ‘All The Noise’.

‘All The Noise’ is a classic slice of effervescent indie pop with a scything guitar riff and urgent vocals delivering celestial melodies. It follows extensive touring last year by the band, and singer Caleb Harper says of the track:

‘All the Noise’ was mostly written in a hotel room in Sydney having landed in Australia for the first time in 6 months. I suppose there was something about being down under again that made my version of the story of the beginning of my life feel so vivid. It’s angry, but not at someone, and it’s sad because I can’t quite get to the bottom of what or who made me. It might be my favourite riff of Ashton’s and the tightest Peppa and Kieran have ever locked. It’s gonna be so fun live and we’re beyond excited to be sharing our first new music in over a year.

It comes with an exciting video directed by Dan Lesser showcasing the band’s dynamism and live charisma:

‘All The Noise’ is out today and you can download and stream it here.

The new album is produced by Mike Crossey (The 1975, Arctic Monkeys, Wolf Alice), the band also collaborated with songwriters Jackson “Day Wave” Phillips and Sarah Aarons (Childish Gambino, Miley Cyrus, Lykke Li) to bring this project to life.
 
On creating the album, the band shares:

 This album isn’t trying to be anything in particular. Sometimes it is sure of itself and other times it whispers uncertainty. It feels like a contradiction of forgiveness and anger, love and breakdown and that’s what I was trying to reconcile in the title. It’s hard to give it a theme other than an overwhelming sense of confusion and a less than successful attempt to tie up emotional loose ends. We went to the U.S., we put our faith in new collaborators and finished making a self-funded record without a label home for it. We stepped off the cliff everyday and loved it and we have never been happier with our work than we are now.

You can pre-order the album here.

The band has announced two special intimate gigs for fans inclduing one in Sydney tonight – details below.

Thursday, 16 January – The Lansdowne, Sydney
Friday, 17 January – Howler, Melbourne
