Koyo's Barely Here is the Long Island quintet's highly anticipated second full-length, released through Pure Noise Records. Rooted firmly in the contemporary hardcore scene while drawing on threads of emo and pop-punk, the album was produced by Jon Markson — known for his work with Drug Church, Drain, and The Story So Far — delivering a sound that is crisp, deliberate, and emotionally direct. The result is a record where every hook breathes with clarity and Chiaramonte's vocals sit right at the surface, balancing melodic warmth with genuine urgency.
Barely Here finds Koyo making a conscious choice to refine rather than reinvent, doubling down on what makes them compelling instead of chasing an ambitious departure from their debut, Would You Miss It?. The album explores themes of self-worth, powerlessness, and emotional reckoning, with standout moments like the propulsive "Saying vs." — featuring a guest appearance from Drain's Sammy Ciaramitaro — and the life-affirming energy of "Jet Stream Wish." This is a focused, confident record that cements Koyo's place as one of the more vital voices in modern punk and hardcore.
