'Who Will You Believe' showcases a beautiful balance between sadness and moments of solemnity with warm humor and camaraderie.

Joe Pernice has been writing for a long time--most of his life, in fact--and has crafted a remarkable catalog that boldly reinterprets and recasts classic American pop - Who Will You Believe may be his most moving and nuanced album yet; it's certainly his timeliest. "These songs were all written during the same time period," he says, "and they all seemed to tap into a mood I was in at the time. I go through spells where I'm a certain way for three or four months. I might be more reticent than usual, or more outgoing. With all of my records--and especially with this one--the songs all feel like they belong together, probably because they all arrived during the same stretch of time."
