Dear Therapist, What\u2019s Eating J.Edmond?<\/em> is a new 11-track power-pop\/rock album from J.Edmond that explores mental health, relationships, identity, personal struggles, and the process of trying to understand yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album features performances and production from an accomplished group of musicians, including Fernando Perdomo<\/strong>, A. Michael Collins<\/strong>, Paul Chastain<\/strong>, Danny Henry<\/strong>, Tommy Hayes<\/strong>, and voice samples of his late friend Brandon \u201cSlim\u201d Polin<\/strong>. Executive Produced by Grammy award-winner Greg Richling<\/strong>, former 20 year member of The Wallflowers and current producer of music documentaries such as Immediate Family and Give Me a Word: The Collective Soul Story + others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J.Edmond performs vocals and guitar throughout the album. Fernando Perdomo contributes guitar, lead guitar, bass, drums and mellotron, with additional performances from the album\u2019s guest musicians including Paul Chastain of Velvet Crush\/Matthew Sweet fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Therapist, What\u2019s Eating J.Edmond?<\/em> releases October 23, 2026. The album will be available digitally and on CD and vinyl. A music video for the song \u201cDreams\u201d will be released alongside the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the songs on the album deal with mental health, relationships, identity, fear, and the feeling of trying to understand why you think and feel the way you do. During the making of the album, J.Edmond was dealing with major changes in his life, including discovering that he is autistic. Says J.Edmond, \u201cThe songs came from a pretty wide range of experiences, but they all felt connected once I started putting the album together. I wanted the record to sound like me \u2014 honest and personal, but still energetic and fun to listen to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album represents an important new chapter for J.Edmond as an independent artist, following a difficult period involving health challenges, personal changes, and ultimately choosing to self-release the music rather than continue pursuing a traditional record-label arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In closing, J.Edmond has this to say: \u201cIt\u2019s okay not to have yourself completely figured out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve spent a lot of time thinking that I needed to have everything under control or that I needed to fit into somebody else\u2019s idea of who I was supposed to be. I\u2019m learning that being honest about who you are \u2014 including the messy parts \u2014 is a much healthier way to live.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf somebody hears this album and recognizes a piece of themselves in it, then I\u2019ve done what I wanted to do. You don\u2019t have to have all the answers before you\u2019re allowed to make something meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
