Of Limbo Release Ode to Gaslighting 'Joke's On You'

Long Beach, CA-based Rockers OF LIMBO have released their new single "Joke's On You", an acoustic ode to gaslighting in relationships. It's the first track from their upcoming "Unplugged" LP, which will be released this fall.

The song was self-produced and recorded at the band's home studio in Long Beach. The opening guitar line starts out with a slinky and contemplative tone and builds into righteous, smoldering anger driven by hand claps and intense, plaintive vocals.

The band's Jake Davies says "Joke's On You' is about recognizing gaslighting techniques in a relationship. You see the person feigning tears and storming off expecting you to chase after them. Most of us are all too familiar with these kinds of manipulative tactics by now. But when you first start to really recognize it, it's a relief and kind of empowering. Because you realize it's not you... It's all them."

The band shot the video for "Joke's On You" entirely on an IPhone 14 at a park next to their mom's house in Australia, armed with nothing but a $20 LED from Amazon and a six pack of tall boys. Jake explains "We filmed this in the moment, just going with the flow. The red and blue color overlays are meant to be a representation of being two faced."

The band has announced their first 2 tour dates in California, and will be playing a more extensive tour in support of the new music this summer. The band plans on playing live shows through the rest of 2025 into 2026.
