## Summary

LA power-pop band Jawdropped have announced their full-length debut album, Secret To Spare, due out on 18 September via Transgressive/Canvasback, and have shared a new single, "Split Lip". The Stereogum piece frames the announcement enthusiastically, with the writer citing the earlier single "Monday" as a standout that turned them into a fan, and describing "Split Lip" as a jangly, Teenage Fanclub-indebted midtempo track layered with strummed and arpeggiated guitars.

Frontman Roman Zangari explains that "Split Lip" reflects the tension between the excitement of being in a young band and the underwhelming financial reality, noting the members are "still broke" with no guarantee their choices will pay off. The single arrives with a video directed by Rob Fraebel, shot against an LA backdrop, alongside a ten-track listing and an extensive run of tour dates spanning the US, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, the UK and France, including several shows with Soccer Mommy and This Is Lorelei.
