Lovejoy - Pebble Brain (Full EP) [Official Audio] 

Spotify: spoti.fi/3FPHJ1q AppleMusic: apple.co/3p0Z3ea

Tommy wasn’t lying when he said that the whole album had the same energy as “fucking inconsistent” :)

“Are you Alright?” Is the angsty teen coming of age movie, while “Pebble Brain” is the cheerful nihilist college sequel.

When lovejoy becomes like so famous we are going to feel so old :,)

i still cant believe this is happening, ive been a fan of wilbur and lovejoy for so long, i dont think i will stop liking this music only because of all this drama going on, but whenever i listen to this i cant help but remember

"British singers lose their accent when singing" Wilbur: Hold my guitar

“what’s your favorite genre of music?” “Lovejoy” “That’s not a-“ “Lovejoy.”

One of my friends died recently and her favourite album was this we constantly sung perfume I cry every time I hear it thanks Tommy for making Wilbur keep it I don’t know what I would have done if he got rid of it

That loop button looking mighty fine rn

As a legend said before: "Lovejoy is like a messy room where you know exactly where everything is"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THIS MASTERPIECE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER

“every band/artist has a bad song” Lovejoy: “oh we don’t do that here”

why does wilbur sound like he's gonna have a intense fit of rage at any moment yet still singing bops in this EP?

Unpopular Opinion: MODEL BUSES IS UNDERRATED!! It's a serious bop ✨

This album absolutely slaps. Techno would be so proud of how far you guys have made it.

"Oh Yeah, You Gonna Cry" YES BECAUSE THIS EP ABSOLUTELY SLAPS

Wilbur: Lets remove perfum- Annoying blonde child: *NO NO NO NO SHUT SHUT SHUT SHUT*

Music theorist here- Im just realized Wilbur’s vocals tend to hang around the major 3rd scale degree, which is interesting because you’d expect that to be part of a harmony but it works surprisingly well melodically!

everytime i listen to the first note of "oh yeah, you gonna cry?" i instantly think back to the morning of 14th of october, my 15th birthday at about 8am getting ready for school and being so excited that this album dropped on my birthday. and i must say it's the best present i could've asked for

Everyone: "Oh no it's raining pebbles!" Jack Manifold: "Pebbles are quite good actually"

I can see why Tommy Didn’t want Wilbur to cut “Perfume”

Imagine these dudes become mainstream like 20 years from now and the we're like "I was there when it was released"

I’m actually gonna cry

THE FACT THAT EVERYONE IS CURRENTLY LISTENING TO THIS AT THE SAME TIME PROBABLY DANCING IN THEIR ROOM IS AMAZING

"Whats your favorite genre of music" "Lovejoy" "Thats not a-" "Lovejoy"

Oh Yeah, You Gonna Cry? is such a brilliant opener. the way it opens with piano before switching to the guitar is so cool and then transitions into the fast paced album without a jarring start at all. brilliant.

Personal Timestamps 0:00 Oh Yeah, You Gonna Cry? 2:52 Model Buses 5:41 Concrete 8:58 Perfume 12:25 You'll Understand When You're Older 16:16 The Fall 19:22 It's All Futile! It's All Pointless!

I love how Lovejoy clearly knew that people will listen to this without looking at the screen, so they left in Easter eggs in the actual video, like the giant headbopping cat during ‘It’s all futile it’s all pointless’. I didn’t notice it in the first five listens, only when it was like midnight where a giant dancing cat would have been obvious to spot. I thought I was having a fever dream.

So its like drugs? “Its better than drugs, Jeremey.”

when it says "oh yh u gonna cry?" thats what my friend sayed to me once lol and i did cry

Man this album is 2 years old?? 😭😭 I remember listening to this when it came out and i absolutely loved it. Gives me a good vibe especially The Fall and It's All Futile! It's All Pointless they're my favorite. But anyway happy 2 years to the album‼️‼️💥💥💥

“how many times have you listened to perfume already?” me: *inaudible* “sorry what?” me: “yes..”

THE DRUMS in this EP are fucking phenomenal, Props to Mark

I know a lot of people found this through minecraft and Wilburn streams, and I am all for that btw, love to content both here and on twitch, but as someone who first found out about Lovejoy in my Spotify mix playlist, I have to say, I was actually really impressed. I have to say the first thing I noticed was the drums, as someone who grew up around drummers that’s not a surprise, and can I just say. Well fucking done. The drums are amazing, but the vocals as well were very striking to me. I’ve listened to a lot of music like this, and when I heard the lyrics it caught me off guard, because I’ve never heard lyrics like those on a beat like this. The guitar and bass is also brilliant, and the success you have found is not because of your fans on RU-vid and twitch, its because it is genuinely amazing music that is so new and welcoming. Well done to all 4 of you and looking forward to a tour ASAP!

Y’know, even as someone who’s aroace and the songs mostly being about love/heartbreak, lovejoy still hits fucking deep. Genuinely, this is my favourite band. Usually when I listen to songs it’s just ‘ooooh funny beat make good sound’, but with lovejoy I can actually feel the emotions. Wilbur’s singing along with just the general music following along with his voice - like it may just be me who feels like - usually in songs you have the music + lyrics, but with lovejoy it’s music = lyrics, if that makes any sense at all.

“How many times have you listened to this EP?” Me: “yes.” “I’m sorry?” Me: *yes.*

"you're keeping her dark secret, but your talking in your sleep" *scariest* *shit* *ever*

I don’t know if anyone shares this same feeling as me. But at first I just wasn’t used to this music genre yet recently I suddenly started to catch the vibe and I can say genuinely that I love lovejoy now

We can all hate on Wilbur bc of the news, but im not gonna hate his music. Whether or not he did something HORRIBLE, his music still slaps

"Its all futile is all pointless" Old Wilbur fans: Hey I've seen this, is a classic. New Lovejoy fans: What you mean? is brand new

Can we all just give a round of applause for Tommy convincing Wilbur to keep Perfume on the EP 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

IT'S BEEN A YEAR??!? still amazing music fr tho feels like not even that long ago that "Are You Alright" came out even tho ik it's been a while

I don’t miss you, i miss the thought of what we were.

I love the fact that Wilbur re-wrote “It’s all Futile It’s all pointless” it was my favorite song in his “maybe I was boring” ep he made a while ago!

Lovejoy is like a messy room where you don't know where anything is, but when you find something, it's fucking amazing.

Perfume was originally meant to be scrapped, but looking at the most replayed feature, it became the second favourite for everyone, being beaten by The Fall

I love the absolutely love the overall arching story of this album! 1. Oh Yeah, You Gonna Cry? - Demonstrates just how much of an jerk the singer/main character/Wilbur is supposed to be. Wilbur is a huge ass, taunting either the guy his girlfriend is currently with before she hooks up with him, or the guy she eventually ends up with later on, more likely the former. This sets up how the girl has inserted herself into a relationship doomed from the start. 2. Model Buses - Seems to be Wilbur taunting or arguing with his girlfriend, who's scared of him and demonstrating a want to leave this horrible relationship. The backup singing meanwhile seems to be singing the girlfriend's point of view, who's saying "Get me out of here" and voicing all her concerns during the chorus. 3. Concrete - Sets a really detailed scene of both Wilbur and his now ex-girlfriend getting way too drunk and arguing with each other at a bar. Presumably, Wilbur cheated on her, "All this over a kiss", and that was the straw that broke the camel's back for her, while he doesn't think it's a big deal. The start of the chorus where Wilbur tells her "You won't get what you need" might be him trying to discourage her from leaving with manipulative tactics, but this obviously ends up not working. 4. Perfume - This is more or less a lament from Wilbur, seeing his ex-girlfriend hook up with a new guy. He tries to voice his frustrations in the song, saying she's only using him as a means to an end because she needs to find someone to fix her social life, and that the guy secretly hates her. But by the lines, "Why can't you be a d*ck?" and "Bet he serenades you! I can't really blame you!", it's clear that he's a genuinely nice guy, and Wilbur is just suffering from heartache, trying to find any reason to justify his hatred of her new boyfriend, when in reality Wilbur was the only one in the wrong. 5. You'll Understand When You're Older - And this is where things really take a turn for the worse. The song steadily sets up that his ex and her new boyfriend are keep some "dark secret". Maybe their relationship isn't going well, maybe one of them is involved in something really sketchy. It doesn't matter, the point is that Wilbur has convinced himself that said dark secret exists, and is doing everything he can to find it. That line, "But you're talking in your sleep!", isn't a metaphor, it's literal. He's stalking the couple and apparently has even bugged their room to figure it out, and this song is his celebration of that, and warning to the couple. "And you think that it gets better, just you wait until next week!" Wilbur plans to release that secret to the public as revenge, he says it himself, "If I'm going down you're coming with me." 6. The Fall - And then it all finally culminates here. I've seen analysis of this song having to do with the UK government in a similar style to Your City Gave Me Asthma, and some of the terms likes the ramblers certainly suggest that, but I do believe it ties into the greater story of the album. The song starts with some short and tense chords, building it up (in a similar style to Farewell from Celeste's OST might I add), and keeping that tension with the bass when the lyrics come in. For the first verse of the song Wilbur is singing in the second tense to who I presume is his ex. He's accusing her and her boyfriend the whole time, painting them as monsters because of the secret he finally knows about them. And as suggested by the flat chorus of voice that join him in "And we're so calm but we're (f*cking scared, f*cking scared)", crowds are rallying behind him. He's let it out, he's let the world know the dark secret the couple was hiding in You'll Understand When You're Older. Yet, for the second verse Wilbur shifts the focus off of his ex and onto himself, talking about anti-depressants and how unhappy he feels. The tension keeps rising, until finally we reach the breakdown at the end. Wilbur switches the focus off of the girl and onto himself, finally letting himself breakdown as he realizes he doesn't feel better. He's accomplished nothing, only spreading hatred and ruining a couple's lives, and so he lashes out, yelling to the people following his spite that, "I look at all of you and see a different f*cking species!" He can't accept that this was all for nothing, "I would do something, if it wasn't (I've heard "all so effortful" and "also half my fault" from different sources)", and so he can't help but fall, reaching the climax of everything he's done, only to realize holding onto his hatred only brought more pain and guilt for him. It's the culmination of a beautiful yet tragic fall from grace. 7. It's All Futile! It's All Pointless! - Oddly enough, this song could provide a small bit of hope for the future. While a lot of the song is simply Wilbur expressing his regrets, thinking about his relationship with his ex and how he wishes they could go back to what they were - and yet, he expressly realizes that can never happen. "I don't miss you, I miss the thought of what we were". He describes so many depressing things in this song. He notices how his ex and her partner's relationship is becoming strained due to her not wanting to tie herself down (likely a result of her quickly going to the guy to escape her relationship with Wilbur and show her friends she's not single, as hinted at in Concrete). Meanwhile the poor guy who was described as so nice in Perfume is naively thinking about his future with her. Wilbur talks about how apathetic and dead inside he feels, even expressing how he doesn't even want to get back with his ex because of love, it's just because it's "somewhere warm to sleep", something comfortable. And yet through all of that, it's a sign that Wilbur has broken free of his grief, of him not being able to accept his ex is gone. It shows that he's grown up a bit too. It's all a sign of self-awareness that Wilbur so desperately needed, and that maybe he can finally start working though his pain. So yeah, the story I take from this is a beautiful tragedy, about a jerk who can't understand why his ex is leaving him, he can't grow up, who can't accept the grief to the point where he gets revenge on the new couple by exposing their darkest secrets to the public. And yet it's a story about how after all that self-destruction, that man can finally begin to grow.

Damn, I just realised if it wasn’t for Tommy we wouldn’t have Perfume right now

“I don’t miss you, I miss the thought of what we were” Damn, just called a lot of us out

Lmao, I love the cat at the end 💕 :}

don't care about the drama all i know is the music is from the heart which is worth giving credit too

when tommy said “i may have delayed the ep a bit” when he decided perfume should stay in the ep... SAY “THANK YOU, TOMMY!!!”

The fact that all the Lovejoy fans are probably all dancing around at the same time rn makes me so happy :) I hope you all have amazing days

ONE YEAR OF PEBBLE BRAIN LETS GOOOOO

Perfume is such a good song, its obviously an introspective look on someone going through a breakup where they're going through the motions of grief, denial bargaining anger depression acceptance, even the scent of their ex ticks them off and sends them into a spiral of anger and frustration and its just so relatable to me personally and makes me nearly cry whenever i listen to it, the ending is so impactful as it shows that no matter the amount of wishful thinking we do, our dreams of ever getting back with them (taxi) will never come and we need to learn to accept it and move on 😌

Y'ALL POINTING OUT THAT WE'RE BASICALLY JUST LISTENING TO THIS AT THE SAME TIME MAKES MY DAY SO MUCH BETTER

I can see why Tommy liked Perfume to much, I think I speak for everyone when I say thank you Tommy for convincing Wilbur for putting the song in the ep.

"Grandpa, what was the music you listened to when you were my age?"

Man, I always loved Wilbur's music but the stuff Lovejoy makes just hits on another level. Main reason to be successful on YT: So that I can tell Wilbur his music is beautiful.

This sounds like the most upbeat hangover in human history

"Oh yeah,you gonna cry?" THATS RIGHT I AM, CAUSE THIS EP IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

It feels like it's just two months ago that lovejoy started and we were all hyped for the first songs

this ep will never have enough views _lovejoy will never have enough support_ *_because its all fucking amazing_*

When Wilbur said this was better than the last one, he wasn't lying. Everyone's so talented, can't wait for more Lovejoy!

I’d like to formally apologize to my teachers, parents, and mates that don’t know what lovejoy is. They will know why tomorow

I introduce all my favorite songs to my grandma, who is slowly loosing her memory. She forgot all her kids, her husband, and her siblings but she hasn’t forgotten me or any of the lyrics to all of my favorite songs. ❤️

this is such a solid album. i've been listening to it for half a year and every song still hits

A band version of "Its all futile its pointless" I'm glad he didn't forget it.

my crops are flourishing, my grades are through the roof, my skin is clear and my serotonin levels have reached the stratosphere, thank you wilbur, joe, ash, and mark for this meal

Happy birthday pebble brain *sobs*

thank you for making pebble brain. right after it came out, my granddad got hurt and i didn’t know how bad it was (don’t worry, he’s fine now) and i listened to this on repeat for days. it really helped me through a tough time and every song is amazing. i hope you’ll continue making music in the future because i know it’s touched many people, including me :)

I know wilbur is the main voice here but can we appreciate HOW GOOD THE REST OF THE TEAM IS HOLY FUCK

Tommy was right about this EP being fucking inconsistent because it just fits sooo many moods

happy one-year anniversary pebblebrain! thank you for being there through the biggest journey of my life and you'll still be there, forever

i saw this thing on tiktok like “will gold from lovejoy was a twitch streamer???” and i exploded i think

excuse me while i LOOP THIS FOR THE NEXT YEAR OF MY LIFE

The description has launched me into orbit “In this household we distrust apple music releasing our music 28 hours early” The catjam as well

im back and listening all the way through again, this album never gets old.

just a few more days and this albums gonna hit one year

This EP makes my brain happy

‘Concrete’ literally makes me want to throw myself into the concrete it’s so good

can’t believe it’s one more day and it’s been a whole year. I remember spamming my ex bsf about how they were making this album. 💕

2 days and it will be a whole year old I still remember being stressed about school and looking at my phone to see Pebble Brain is out and it literally made me so happy and helped me with my stress, can't believe that was almost 1 year ago

"so it's like drugs?" "it's better than drugs jeremy."

True fact : love joys music is basically free therapy.

Okay hear me out… listening to this playlist, in the passenger seat of a car, in the fall, on a rainy day, in a birch forest. Am I wrong????? Like it’s such a vibe😌😌

been listening to this for a year. dont think i could ever get sick of these songs!!!

AYO EVERYONE THANK TOMMY FOR CONVINCING WILBUR TO KEEP “PERFUME” they’re brothers your honor 😭🤞

"how many times have you been replaying this?" yes

Happy birthday Pebble Brain :]

I remember watching this on the school computer when it first came out, I was supposed to be at tutoring. Feels weird that it’s been two years since then

LOVEJOY NEVER MISSES

thank you tommy for giving us perfume, the EP wouldn’t be the same without it

i waited for this to come out and now its been over a year... im genuinely sobbing rn man :/

Lovejoy is like coffee. Ive never drinked coffee in my life, but school starts early and I have ecxacly that much energy to grab my headphones and I'm vibing

Why are we not talking about the incredible bass lines in this band?! Ash really kills it!

I won’t lie the catJAM at the end took me by suprise but it perfectly represented my reaction to the whole album

Listening to this drunk at 2 in the morning is an experience I don’t get anywhere else

this hits harder than my posture will when im 80
