Chattanooga indie rock musician Jason Lyles delivers his most ambitious work yet with Suspensions of Disbelief, an album that collides gritty reality with sci-fi escapism. Known for his high-energy performances and DIY ethos, Lyles has built a reputation for contagious hooks, emotional honesty, and interstellar imagination.
Musically, the record pulls from indie rock, Americana, garage grit, and spacey alt-pop, creating a sound that’s driving, melodic, and cinematic. Fans of artists like The Killers, Interpol, and David Bowie’s sci-fi-tinged work will find a lot to love here.
Suspensions of Disbelief dives into themes of economic struggle, political division, climate change, and personal loss, while also drawing inspiration from science fiction writers like Stephen Baxter and films like Interstellar and Aliens. The result is a record that feels both urgent and otherworldly.
Highlights include the fiery single On Fire, the cosmic ballad The Other Side, the pulsing anthem Survival, and the biting She’s a Drag. From space-inspired rockers to acoustic reflections, the album captures the duality of modern life — grounded in hardship but reaching for the stars.

GRADING
GRADING
Yellow Racket assigns condition based on the Goldmine Standard for grading records.
New (N) (Not typically included in the Goldmine Standard)
New records are purchased directly from the label, distributor, or registered wholesaler. Records are still sealed. Jackets may have slight shelf wear, but media has never been played.
Mint (M)
Still sealed. Never played. No observable flaws. Items have been purchased secondhand.
Near Mint (NM)
A Near Mint (NM) record will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear.
The cover (and any additional packaging) has no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable defects.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus (VG+) record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches.
The disc and LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be gently marred by spindle marks, paper scuffs, wrinkled corners, etc.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident, but will not overpower the music. Disc may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels, jackets, and inserts will have visible cosmetic flaws such as wrinkles, cut-outs, slight splitting, etc. However, it will usually have less than a dozen minor flaws.
Good (G)
A record in Good condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present.
While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
Poor (P), Fair (F)
The record may be cracked, badly warped, or won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve may be water damaged, split, or heavily marred by wear and writing.
