Change Life Announce Self-Titled Debut Album: Hear “Beyond Control” & “Smile”Portland band Change Life, led by Lawton Browning, is releasing their self-titled debut album on Spain's Meritorio label. Drawing from anarchist and surrealist traditions, their sound blends off-kilter rock with rhythmic qualities. Two tracks have been shared so far: "Smile" (the album opener) and "Beyond Control." "Smile" is described as a mix of Dire Straits, Protomartyr, post-hardcore scrappiness, and new wave elegance.Stereogum·Jun 5, 2026
