Don’t Believe In Ghosts are stepping into a bold new chapter with their upcoming album But On The Bright Side, arriving soon. Fueled by the momentum of lead singles “Driver” and “Outta Your Head,” the band continues to evolve their sound while staying true to their uplifting indie rock roots. With high-profile collaborations and a celebratory release party planned in NYC, this project reflects both their sonic ambition and deep connection to fans.
According to a press release from Don’t Believe in Ghosts’ management, their new album, But On The Bright Side, arrives November 7th, 2025, following the singles “Driver” (August 29th) and “Outta Your Head” (October 10th). To celebrate, the band will host an album release party on November 15th at Soho Live in NYC.
Recorded over two years, the album saw the band working across multiple studios and diving deeper into analog gear, live recording, and classic console techniques. Sessions included trips to Nashville to work with producer Don Miggs and to Cleveland to collaborate with Grammy-winning producer Ken Lewis, alongside recording in their home base of New York. Throughout the process, all three members took on multiple instruments, pushing their sound in new directions. The collection features songs mixed by legendary mixers Mark Needham (The Killers, Imagine Dragons) and Ken Lewis(Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga), as well as tracks mixed by the band’s own frontman and producer Steven Nathan.
An Exciting, Unparalleled Recording Environment
The creative energy during recording was so unpredictable and dynamic at times, it felt more like watching a mentalist performer shapeshift ideas in real time rather than a traditional recording session.
The band—Steven Nathan (vocals), Dan DelVecchio (guitar), and Ken Yang (drums)—has built a reputation for anthemic songwriting and high-energy performances. Past highlights include the Needham-mixed track “Put Your Head Back”—featured in the Apple TV+ series WeCrashed—and “Don’t Wake Me Up”, which debuted at #2 on the ALL ACCESS retail radio chart and featured comedy legend Gilbert Gottfried in its video. “Slow Down”has surpassed 2 million plays on retail radio, and “Summer High” landed multiple Spotify and Apple Music editorial playlists.
Watch “Summer High”:
With their electrifying live shows—twice headlining sold-out performances at the Bowery Ballroom—and a track record of infectious, uplifting releases, Don’t Believe In Ghosts (Mindful Recordings / Symphonic) shows no sign of slowing down. But On The Bright Side is set to be their most ambitious and sonically rich release yet.
As But On The Bright Side prepares to make its mark, Don’t Believe In Ghosts continue to prove why they’re one of indie rock’s most compelling voices. With heartfelt songwriting, sonic ambition, and a deep-rooted connection to their fans, this release is more than just an album—it’s a celebration. Fans are encouraged to stream the singles, grab tickets to the NYC release party, and be part of the journey as the band turns the page on their brightest chapter yet.
