If That Makes Sense is the upcoming third studio album by Australian indie rock band Spacey Jane, set to release on 9 May 2025 via AWAL. [a] It was produced by Mike Crossey and written alongside Day Wave and Sarah Aarons. The album is preceded by the lead single "All the Noise", released on 16 January 2025.
In early 2023, Spacey Jane frontman Caleb Harper relocated to Los Angeles for recording and writing sessions that would inform their third album. He said to NME that the band would be more deliberate in finding time for writing the project, and that they would "try and ease into it a little more" than they did for their prior album, Here Comes Everybody (2022). [1] They took a hiatus from touring for over a year while working on the record, returning to the stage with a surprise pop-up show at Rosemount Hotel, Perth on 14 January 2025. [2]
The album's title, cover and release date was announced on 16 January 2025, alongside the release of its lead single "All the Noise". [3] Spacey Jane self-funded the album's production, and revealed they had signed with Concord Records for its distribution outside of Australia and New Zealand. [4] The band wrote in a media release: "We stepped off the cliff everyday and loved it and we have never been happier with our work than we are now." [3]
