Expect a rollercoaster of moods and textures\u2014from catchy, feel-good singalongs to dreamy soundscapes, fuzzed-out psych, and even a few introspective moments that pull at your chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the rundown:<br>The album kicks off with the hooky, high-energy <em>Oh Boy<\/em>, jumps into the punchy <em>Come Up (Goes Down)<\/em>, and then hits a softer gear with the mellow <em>In My Heart<\/em>. <em>Have a Little Dream<\/em> delivers exactly what it promises\u2014a dreamlike floaty vibe\u2014while <em>Once In A While<\/em> brings in that big, echoey open-air feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then we get <em>Social Cue<\/em>, sitting right in the heart of the tracklist, burning slow and fierce. From there, it\u2019s into new textural territory with <em>Roll Back<\/em> and <em>Roundabout<\/em>, then a moodier turn on <em>Happier Man<\/em>, a track that dives into heavier psych and the pursuit of becoming your best self. The playful <em>Worry About Everything<\/em> ironically offers a little worry-free joy, before <em>All My Days<\/em> closes the album on a reflective note\u2014celebrating the highs and lows of the touring life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4590.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"497\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4590.png?resize=500%2C497&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The Grogans Stagger cover artwork\" class=\"wp-image-42593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4590.png?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4590.png?resize=300%2C298&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_4590.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tracklist for\u00a0\u2018Stagger\u2019:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Oh Boy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Come Up (Goes Down)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In My Heart<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have A Little Dream<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once In A While<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Social Cue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roll Back<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roundabout<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Happier Man<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Worry About Everything<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All My Days<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you\u2019re lucky enough to be in LA or NYC this June\u2014you can catch The Grogans live.
