Summary
Five years ago, Phil Lester was the frontman of The Fair Youths: an indie band with promise, a finished debut album, and everything to prove. They sent the record demo to Daniel Howell, a renowned and viciously popular critic, infamous for his cult following and merciless takedowns on the hope of being in his good graces. The review came quickly and brutally. Scathing, dismissive, and published before the album ever dropped, it crushed their momentum and ended the band before they had a chance to begin.
In the present day, Phil has paved the path for a solo path after an EP gone viral and is ready for his first album. He's older, sharper, and finally ready to be heard on his own terms. With a clear vision in mind, he thinks that this project could only go smoothly. But when his label assigns a new producer to shape the sound of his career, there’s only one name on the file: Daniel Howell. Turns out that Dan has decided to try out producing after a file of his experimental music got leaked online to rave reviews and doesn't remember Phil. Great.
Together, they'll have to navigate buried resentment and the uncomfortable pull of something deeper. And once it comes to light, nothing will sound the same again.
