Nick Piunti’s songwriting is a thing of beauty, and his voice is undeniably enviable. These are just two of the many takeaways from his third album with The Complicated Men, Up and Out of It—out now on Cd & LP at JEM Records.

All the familiar elements of Piunti’s past work are present, but he continues to push his sound to new heights. This album doesn’t just hit all the right notes, it glows with an infectious energy that’s hard to resist. Each track offers a masterclass in power-pop craftsmanship, from irresistibly catchy hooks to meticulously crafted melodies. If there’s any doubt about Piunti’s staying power, Up and Out of It makes one thing crystal clear: he’s at the top of his game and still climbing.
