Pop Psychology by Neon Trees
Pop Psychology is an album by Neon Trees, released in 2014. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 8 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Sleeping With A Friend”, on 8 lists with a best position of #17.
Pop Psychology, Neon Trees' third studio album, came out on Island on April 22, 2014, and underneath its sugar rush it's a record about getting your head straight. Singer Tyler Glenn started seeing a therapist after the Provo, Utah band cancelled some tour dates in 2012 while promoting Picture Show, and the songs grew straight out of those sessions: his sexuality, sex in general, and the hard work of figuring out who he was.
Justin Meldal-Johnsen produced it, and it's bright, glossy pop-rock, all sticky hooks and synth sparkle, the confessions tucked inside choruses built for singing along. Glenn himself described it as a fun pop record at heart with a message in it, even if there are moments of real sadness. Lead single "Sleeping with a Friend" arrived in January 2014, three months ahead of the album.
