Almost Monday - Thank God It's Almost Monday [Blue]

Almost Monday's second album wears the band's name proudly: Thank God It's Almost Monday is the San Diego trio at their sunniest and most self-assured, here on blue vinyl.

Dawson Daugherty, Luke Fabry and Cole Clisby grew up together in San Diego's North County, and the easy, beach-town spirit of that upbringing has always run through their music. Their 2024 debut Dive delivered a number one hit at alternative radio, and this 2026 follow-up on Hollywood Records builds on that momentum with bigger hooks and a little more heart worn on the sleeve.

The title track opens the record with a knowing wink at the band's own name. No More Regrets and Leaving Is Easy arrived ahead of the album and set its tone, catchy and bittersweet in equal measure, while Enjoy the Ride carries the carefree attitude that has made them a fixture on festival stages and long summer playlists. Elsewhere, the band keeps the energy up with a run of songs built for singing along with the windows down.

Indie pop this cheerful and this well made is rarer than it should be. For fans who caught on with Dive, this is the sound of a band growing up without losing any of the fun.
