Love & Other Lies (Pre-Order)

“There is undoubtedly something in the shaded sonics that Federale gathers around them, something in the resonating twang of the guitars, that blend of music created between pop and a hard place, both infectious and anthemic and that ornate, majestic vibe which hangs in the air above the song, that blend of groove and grandeur, muscle and melody, power and poignancy.” – Dave Franklin, The Big Takeover

On Love & Other Lies, Federale delivers its most immediate and personal album to date, transforming uncertainty, outrage, and longing into psychedelic cinematic death rock steeped in post-punk, goth, and shimmering new wave. Written during a period of profound upheaval, the record trades grand concepts for raw emotion, turning Collin Hegna's gaze inward as love, politics, faith, and identity collide in an increasingly fractured world. Commanding baritone, glistening guitars, Prophet-5 synthesizers, and cold mechanical rhythms give even the record's darkest moments an irresistible melodic pull. Equal parts seductive and unsettling, Love & Other Lies finds beauty amid the collapse and a strange kind of resistance in refusing to surrender to it.
