### **Indie rock band Petty Human Emotions Drops “Something New” ahead of Self-Titled Album May 19th**

#### **The single is disarmingly honest and emotionally charged.**

Los Angeles Indie Rock Band **Petty Human Emotions** craft an unabashedly raw and
vulnerable sound on melancholic, deeply affecting self-titled debut album _**“Petty
Human Emotions”**_, out May 19 on streaming platforms. Right out of the gate, the
band set the haunting tone on atmospheric lead track_** “Something New”**_, and 
it’s immediately clear this will be a disarmingly honest and emotionally charged
ride.

Fans of bands like **Dinosaur Jr**, **Radiohead** and **Nirvana** should enjoy this
decidedly underground-sounding yet meticulously crafted release. Lyrically, the 
album explores universal human emotions that often go unshared, and **Petty Human
Emotions** lean into this, making it one of their greatest strengths, along with
their atypical, lo-fi musical approach that flies in the face of rampant over-production.
It’s the type of album where the stark, acoustic tracks feel just as home as the
electrified rock numbers.

Project founded **James Nardiello** opens up on the origins and themes of the album:_“
This is a collection of songs that share a tone and a feeling more than anything
else. The feeling at the forefront of this project is simple melancholy, longing
and loneliness. I felt inspired to include instruments that aren’t typical of the
rock genre or to use them in ways that may be unconventional to experiment and execute
this. The songs are all tied together musically and thematically in a more abstract
way than I had previously written records.”_

_**“Petty Human Emotions”**_ was produced and engineered by **Max Dickenson**. Look
out for it on streaming services May 19th.

**Artist Biography: **
While initially conceived as the solo project of singer/songwriter
James Nardiello (Caesar’s Ghost), Petty Human Emotions quickly became much more.
The project’s Self-Titled first record was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022
in Camarillo, California and was engineered by Max Dickenson (Two Brothers)  who
also contributed drums, bass, lead guitar and various other instruments.

It quickly became clear to Nardiello that the project would require a full band 
for live performances. Through social media platforms, Nardiello was able to find
drummer Bruce Elmer, lead guitarist Austin King, bassist Ayden Bongiovi and key 
player Ian Phillips.

After a few short weeks the newly formed band were ready to begin performing live.
Their first single, “Untitled” from the upcoming Self-Titled record was released
on Valentine’s Day 2023 to all major streaming platforms and was accompanied by 
a music video directed by Nardiello, starring LynnStarr and himself. Their debut
record will release on May 19th.
