Background
Frontman Mikey Carnevale explains starting work on Hypochondriac in his own terms:
I had started to brainstorm where I wanted to go with this record basically the day we released You Are Going To Hate This. At first, I overthought the hell out of it, due to coming down from the high of making our first real album in a real studio with a real producer. So it took about a year or so until I realized that I’m not special and I just forced myself to sit down with an acoustic guitar. What came of that, I think, is a confessional album that I never assumed a band like ours would make.[4]
The band entered Balboa Recording in Los Angeles in February 2018 with producer and FIDLAR frontman Zac Carper, spending two straight weeks recording songs.[5] Hypochondriac marked the debut of guitarist Jordan Clark and was the band's first release for Epitaph Records.
