Chuck Timely and The Hourglass (Photobooth Series 013)

Role Model returns with his highly anticipated third studio album, Chuck Timely and The Hourglass. Working across pop, indie pop, and alt-pop, he keeps things direct and intimate, building songs from warm, minimalist production, muted guitars, and subtle trap percussion.

What stands out here is the honesty. Role Model leans into vulnerability, mental health, insecurity, romance, self-sabotage, and that restless feeling of growing up. His plainspoken, lightly melodic phrasing gives the record the feel of a late-night conversation with hooks that land without overcomplicating the mood.
