The Art of Telling Lies

The producer of the disc was Wildside guitarist Brent Woods, and the recording took place at Steakhouse Studios in North Hollywood. Unlike the debut album Lit Up / Let Down , recorded over a week in Sweden, when recording the second album, the group actively used studio effects, and also complicated songs by adding funk, arena rock and string arrangements to them ^{[1] [2 ] ] [3]}

In July 2009, the group uploaded the new song “Get It On” to iTunes , and the album The Art of Telling Lies was released on September 15. Shortly afterwards, the band shot a video for the single “Get It On” and went to New York to shoot a video for the song “Mind Pollution”, which became the next single in January 2010 .

In 2010, after leaving the group of Lizzie Devine, “Everybody Loves You When You're Dead” was re-recorded with the new vocalist Jesse Forte and released as a single, and also got a video clip. “Better Off Alone” and “The Art of Telling Lies” were also re-recorded with Forte's vocals, and all three songs were included in the 2010 mini-album We Can Never Die .

The song “Enemy in Me” was specially recorded for Bem Marger's collection of Viva la Bands, Vol. 2 released on September 4, 2007 . In the same year, a concert video was edited for the song, and in 2008 an official video clip was released. ^[4] In the same year, the song was featured on the Los Angeles Ink episode of the Skate Ramp episode, in which the band played it at Kat von Dee's tattoo parlor. ^[5] The version of the song on the album is distinguished by a re-recorded drum part. ^[four]

The song “Refugee” is a cover version of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers . Vains of Jenna performed it at concerts for a long time, so they decided to insert it into the album, although initially they were not going to include any covers. ^{[2] [6]}

According to Lizzie Devine, “The Art of Telling Lies” is the best song written by him, and “Paper Heart” is his favorite song in terms of lyrics. ^[3]
