Jason Lyles performs solo acoustic and drops his new record Suspensions of Disbelief. Vic Burgess opens the show.
Chattanooga indie rock musician Jason Lyles delivers his most ambitious work yet with Suspensions of Disbelief, an album that collides gritty reality with sci-fi escapism. Known for his high-energy performances and DIY ethos, Lyles has built a reputation for contagious hooks, emotional honesty, and interstellar imagination.
Musically, the record pulls from indie rock, Americana, garage grit, and spacey alt-pop, creating a sound that’s driving, melodic, and cinematic. Fans of artists like The Killers, Interpol, and David Bowie’s sci-fi-tinged work will find a lot to love here.
Suspensions of Disbelief dives into themes of economic struggle, political division, climate change, and personal loss, while also drawing inspiration from science fiction writers like Stephen Baxter and films like Interstellar and Aliens. The result is a record that feels both urgent and otherworldly.
Highlights include the fiery single On Fire, the cosmic ballad The Other Side, the pulsing anthem Survival, and the biting She’s a Drag. From space-inspired rockers to acoustic reflections, the album captures the duality of modern life — grounded in hardship but reaching for the stars.
