Is This Real

Album Description

Is this real, or is it fake?

The world is a heavy place right now and Blank Pages’ latest release is a record for these crazy times. Like its title implies, we’re often in a state of disbelief wondering what’s real and what’s fake. Blank Pages songwriter Greg Potter explores these questions through the lens of indie pop, balancing his signature melodic sound with weighty ideas.

For Potter, melody is always reality, and it is unmistakable on Is This Real. A history of pop melody flows through his music blending decades: 60’s classics, 70’s power pop, 80s new wave, and 90s modern rock. While Blank Pages’ catchy songs are built on this foundation of guitar-oriented pop, they offer a 21st century sensibility that often takes them to unexpected places.

With the lead single, Nagging Feeling, Potter explores that sixth sense of perceiving when someone you trust is telling lies. In Authenticity, he begs for a dose of reality in his relationships. Potter urges the world to humanize machines before they overrun our lives in Robots Will Not Win.

Sonically the band covers new territory with Hiding and Seeking, an ethereal exploration of who we become in the dark with those we trust. Potter gives a nod to 80s production with the Police-influenced Before and After. And Blank Pages mines straight-ahead power pop on tracks like Waiting in Line and Laugh.

Is This Real is Blank Pages’ sixth studio album featuring Greg Potter on guitar, keys, and lead vocals, Jason Brown on bass, Ed McCaffrey on drums and background vocals.
