- Cody is the fourth studio album by American rock band Joyce Manor, released on October 7, 2016 by Epitaph Records. The California-based quartet first formed in the late 2000s, building a fanbase online and through exhausting touring. Its previous album, Never Hungover Again (2014), had cemented its status as one of the biggest pop-punk bands of the 2010s, earning rave reviews from critics. In the interim, the band dismissed original drummer Kurt Walcher, replacing him with Jeff Enzor, and frontman Barry Johnson embraced meditation. Cody thematically centers on aging, examining concepts like addiction, drug usage, and relationships. For the album, the band approached veteran producer Rob Schnapf, known for his work with Beck, Elliott Smith, and Guided by Voices. The band worked for two months in the studio; Johnson, in conjunction with guidance from Schanpf, further refines the band's songwriting, introducing varying tempos and into the band's typically speedy sound. As a result, Cody is the group's longest album to date, at twenty-four minutes. The LP features guest vocal spots from Nate Ruess and Phoebe Bridgers. Many music analysts expected Cody to expand the band's stardom, though its reaction was more muted. It debuted at number 192 on the Billboard 200, representing a drop-off from its predecessor. Music critics reacted favorably towards the album, though fans were initially divided regarding the change in direction. "Fake I.D.", "Last You Heard of Me", and "Eighteen" were issued as singles, and received music videos. Cody was supported by international touring stints alongside bands like Wavves, the Hotelier, and AJJ. (en)
