Sawyer Hill began playing bars as a teenager, sneaking through the back door so he
wouldn’t be carded by bouncers. Eventually, he’d graduate to national stages, thanks in
large part to his breakthrough single “Look at the Time.” He has since racked up over 130
million streams and nearly a quarter billion video views, and left Arkansas for the first time
to bring his music across the United States and Europe. Those gigs, including sold out
stops at LA's Troubadour and NYC's Bowery Ballroom, and an extensive tour supporting
Yungblud informed the way his new LP, Everybody’s Home, Nobody’s Happy, sounds. He
was also moved by a revelation he wasn’t expecting: Every time he left Arkansas for a
California writing session or string of tour dates, he found himself longing for home. To hone
in on the sonic and lyrical identity of the album, Hill worked with a few different
collaborators throughout Los Angeles, like Mike Crossey [The 1975, Arctic Monkeys], Chris
Greatti [Poppy, Yungblud], and Ryan Linville [Olivia Rodrigo, Dermot Kennedy]. He quickly
began to triangulate the philosophy of the record, using these peers and role models as
sounding boards. It’s part of the reason Hill sounds more assured than ever on the new
album. With Everybody’s Home, Nobody’s Happy, Sawyer Hill wants to be that guiding
presence that his favorite rockstars were for him when he was sitting in his childhood
bedroom, teaching himself chords. He wants to be a voice for the loners and the doubters,
the Southern kid who doesn’t understand why he’s meant to shut up about his feelings
