Role Model: Chuck Timely & The Hourglass (Opaque Watermelon Pink Vinyl) (LP)

Role Model announces its third studio album, “Chuck Timely & The Hourglass.” The album deals with the fear of time running out, past mistakes, unfulfilled hopes, and the longing for a future that may never seem within reach. At the center is Chuck Timely, not a classic alter ego, but an independent character who embodies the album’s themes. Charming, elusive, and timeless, Chuck moves between nostalgia and the present, as someone who leaves an impression everywhere, seems familiar, and yet remains unattainable. Visually, the character moves between classic vintage aesthetics, nostalgic iconography, and deliberately chaotic lo-fi and grunge elements. It is precisely this tension between transience, longing, and love that shapes the entire album, which musically revolves around time pressure, coming to terms with the past, and regret. Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, represents a new form of modern male pop music: emotionally open, self-deprecating, and charmingly light-footed. Following sold-out tours, an SNL debut, a spot on Forbes’ “30 Under 30” list, and a role in the Netflix film “Good Sex,” Role Model reaches the pinnacle of his creative development to date on “Chuck Timely & The Hourglass.”
