AFTER SHARES NEW SINGLE “BLIND”
After shares new single “Blind” from their upcoming debut album Fell Asleep in the Sun, arriving September 18th via Mom + Pop Music. Interview Magazine recently described their music as “a dreamy road trip with the windows down, diving into cold water, and being hit with déjà vu all at once,” a feeling that comes through across their previous singles “Take Me to Sunrise,” “Promise,” and “Fell Asleep in the Sun.” “Blind” amplifies that, with Graham’s rare vocals emerging as an acoustic guitar-backed intro builds into an alluring and dramatic climax.
Shortly after the release of their album, they will embark on a 18-date run that kicks off in Denver at the end of September before they make their way across North America and conclude the tour in the duo’s home base of Los Angeles. Tickets are currently available to purchase HERE.
The LA Pop-Rock duo’s forthcoming album, Fell Asleep in the Sun, is an exploration of impermanence, the fleeting nature of certain moments, and the ways we preserve what matters as time moves forward. Ahead of its release, After, which is comprised of Justine Dorsey and Graham Epstein, who share the same birth date and year, explained, “We both turned thirty this year, which feels like an evaluation point.” It’s this shared milestone that informs the album’s theme of reflecting on the passage of time, the quiet grief of growing older, and the hope that persists even as the world changes around you. In the process of making the album, the duo harnessed their memories of mall soundtracks and their experiences surfing the internet’s endless archive into a unique crossroads where grungy guitars, trip-hop, drum & bass, earworm melodies, and shoegaze textures are distilled into pop through an unmistakably modern lens entirely of their own.
Formed in 2023 after meeting on the dating app Hinge, After quickly discovered that their relationship wasn’t meant to be romantic and instead transformed into a musical partnership. The duo has since built a reputation for infectious pop music that, as The FADER described, blends “moody drum and bass, grungy guitars, and shadowy trip-hop amid the bright mall-pop chords and flourishes.”
In April of last year, the band released their first extended play, After EP, preceded by singles “Obvious,” “Ever,” and “300 Dreams” that had first gained them attention and early praise from outlets like Rolling Stone, People Magazine, The FADER, and CLASH. After EP 2, the band’s second EP, was released later in 2025, under Mom + Pop Music, featuring the singles “Deep Diving” and “Outbound,” the latter of which was featured on Zane Lowe’s 26 for ‘26 playlist. Since then, After has launched their Gap campaign and had their music featured in Apple ads.
