With Mom & Dad, veteran wordsmith Apathy delivers his most personal and conceptually rich project to datean album steeped in nostalgia, anchored in sharp cultural critique, and draped in the breezy textures of his new Shore Life sound. The title nods to Ronald and Nancy Reagan, casting Apathy as a child of the ’80s raised under the shadow of Reaganomics. But this isn’t just a trip down memory laneit’s a reflective deep dive into the socio-political climate that shaped his youth, told with the masterful penmanship fans have come to expect from the CT legend.

The first release from his newly launched imprint, Anchors Up Rec, Mom & Dad showcases Apathys evolution as both emcee and producer. He helms the boards for 9 of the 12 tracks, crafting lush, sample-heavy beats that blend laid-back vibes with surgical precision. Additional production comes from rising star Playa Haze and longtime collaborator Little Vic.

Standout tracks include the haunting Lee Harv(feat. Little Vic), the soul-drenched All Good,and the sharp, shoreline serenade WHALERS.
