Francos Pain’s second album " We All Got Tricked" is a raw, DIY indie rock confession about the bumpy ride from youthful innocence into adult disillusionment. If his debut Don’t Freak Out But Remember to Play was an ode to youthful curiosity, "We All Got Tricked" marks the crash landing into mid-twenties reality.
We grow up with a blueprint of how life’s supposed to unfold—success, relationships, identity. But somewhere along the way, you realize that nobody really has a clue, and adulthood is full of quiet chaos: broken dreams, shifting relationships, hair growing in strange places, and pimples that don’t play by the rules.
This album is a coming-of-(ongoing)-age story. Honest and melancholic, but with an undercurrent of hope. It's music for anyone trying to find their footing in a world that promised more than it delivered. Lo-fi and analog in feel, the album blends psychedelic textures with bedroom-pop sincerity, channeling suburban boredom into moments of catharsis.
