Post Malone, The Killers, & Benson Boone: What do they have in common?

Post Malone, The Killers, & Benson Boone: What do they have in common?

A few weeks ago, I pulled into a car wash next to Kneaders and immediately knew this was not your average Tuesday. There was a bright yellow Lamborghini parked out front. Not “nice car for Utah” yellow. Music-video yellow.

A car wash attendant nearby started wildly gesticulating at me through the window. Pointing. Mouth open. Full panic energy. She kept mouthing the same thing over and over like she was delivering a classified message:

“That’s Benson Boone.”

Sure enough, I looked again, and there he was. Sitting in his Lamborghini at Kneaders. Before I could grab my phone, the conveyor belt pulled us into the wash. Brushes humming. Soap everywhere.

By the time we came out the other side, the Lamborghini was gone. Benson Boone had vanished completely, like a mirage.

That moment stuck with me, because it sums up how different artists exist in completely different worlds. Some feel impossibly far away. Some might be three minutes from your house in a yellow Lamborghini. Most never cross paths at all.

So… what do Post Malone, The Killers, and Benson Boone have in common?

They’ve all worked with music producer Jed Jones.

Jed is one of those rare producers who makes everything better the second he walks into the room. The energy shifts. Ideas loosen up. You actually want to take another swing at the part you were stuck on five minutes ago.

More importantly, he has great taste. The kind where one small suggestion can unlock a song. We’ve watched parts go from “pretty good” to “that’s the one” in minutes. Not by overproducing or forcing anything, but by knowing what to keep, what to cut, and what actually makes a song hit.

And somehow (it still feels weird to type this), we get to work with Jed too.

Which brings us to something we wanted to let you in on early.

We’re releasing our first new song in almost a year on March 31, 2026. It’s called They Tell Lies.

This one came out of a feeling we couldn’t shake: people can look at the same world and walk away with completely different versions of the truth. The more we worked on it, the more it felt like something we needed to say out loud.
