TH E ARMY\, THE NAVY: The Army\, The Navy hails from the foothills of Mount Tamalpais\, embraced by the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. In the morning\, dense fog encircles the mountain’s peak only to burn off by noon\, when the sun’s rays penetrate dense canopies of redwoods. Maia Ciambriello and Sasha Goldberg no longer live here\, but they’ve carrie d home throughout their discography—the natural world tethers their astr al songwriting to Earth. On their debut album\, Fake Brave Life\, The Ar my\, The Navy tap into a cosmic power. The album is courageous\, despera te\, and exhausting all at once\, a chronicle of what it feels like to t ake a risk\, to fake bravery in service of a dream. It’s an album for an d about artists\, whose insecurities are displayed each time they make a n offering to an audience\, hopeful that it will resonate. The Army\, Th e Navy describes this as their most existential and intentional project to date\, a moody odyssey through a dark\, rainy night before the break of dawn. Fake Brave Life follows The Army\, The Navy’s 2024 EPs\, Fruit for Flies and Sugar for Bugs. The duo amassed a following beginning in 2 023 when their single “Vienna” caught fire online\, leading them to open for artists like Dora Jar\, Paris Paloma\, and Matt Maltese. Last year\ , they sold out the majority of their headlining Gentle Hellraiser tour which took them across the United States and broadened their audience. I nitially taken with spare production\, The Army\, The Navy threw themsel ves into making Fake Brave Life in both Athens\, GA and New York City al ongside producers Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster\, Of Montreal\, Toro y M oi) and BLEACHERS’ Mikey Freedom Hart (Taylor Swift\, Lana Del Rey\, The Chicks). What started as an intimate process between two friends evolve d into a full-blown studio production with session musicians and a strin g quartet who helped enact their vision. Though they’d known one another for more or less their whole lives\, Maia and Sasha only grew close as undergraduates in New Orleans\, where both studied songwriting. In a cit y rich with cultural history that\, like jazz\, rejects a plotted path i n favor of improvisation and spontaneity\, The Army\, The Navy took shap e without a plan in mind. As roommates\, the duo worked on songs individ ually–Maia in one corner of the room\, Sasha in the other–but eventually they were drawn to one another’s process\, combining ideas to build som ething new out of two distinctive minds. Neither can pinpoint the moment they decided to be a band\; it felt like an organic outcropping of thei r growing relationship and the adopted city they love. Now\, the duo liv e together in Los Angeles\, where they keep up the practice born in a ti ny dorm room. Day to day\, they gather verses in a thick\, clothbound no tebook known as “the Bible\,” where their scribbled ideas eventually coh ere into songs. Though it’s been years since New Orleans\, some of the s ongs on Fake Brave Life originated soon after The Army\, The Navy’s ince ption. The duo built the scaffolding of the haunting call-and-response “ Walls” ages ago\, its slow construction mirroring the lyrics the duo bre athily deliver. “But I think you deserve a little more than that\,” one sings and the other echoes: “I think I deserve a little more than that.” “Walls” is one of the few instances of dialogue on an album that so suc cinctly combines the duo’s unique lived experiences. Because their lives are so entangled\, “all of her breakups are my breakups\, all of my bre akups are hers\,” Maia says. Many of these songs are about love and the loss of it\, The duo agrees the empowered breakup anthem “2 Collide” fea tures some of the best songwriting of their career. A willowy guitar ope ning builds momentum as the song’s narrator gathers her strength. “I’m n ot gonna drop to my knees and give you what you want/ This time\,” the d uo sing together\, their voices melding into a shared experience. As oft en as The Army\, The Navy use their lives as lyrical fodder\, their outp ut shouldn’t be read as pure autobiography. In the favorite songwriting class they repeated as undergrads\, the duo would be asked to write in t he style of another artist. It gave them the dexterity needed to inhabit characters in worlds far removed from their own. The monumental\, strin g-powered “Stars Stay Awake” could soundtrack the apex of a blockbuster. “It’s very Hunger Games coded\,” Maia says. “Very Sapphic\,” Sasha adds . The song is as cosmic as its title suggests\, the chorus hitting like a rocket breaking the sound barrier. “You know our world is ending/ Your cosmic and condescending nature brings me back to places/ I’m not nurtu red\, I’m not safe in.” Indeed\, Fake Brave Life is an intense album\, b ut the deep indigo sky the duo pictured throughout the writing and recor ding process is cut through by the light of distant stars. “We’re always pulled by stars and fire when we write\,” Sasha says. “Light is very im portant in our lyrics.” That bright light reveals itself on the delightf ully pissed-off “Pretty\, Pink and Soft\,” which builds to a fiery apex before it breaks down to a gentle\, hula-like rhythm. In most of their s ongs\, The Army\, The Navy play lovelorn victims\, but “Pretty\, Pink an d Soft” reverses the script. “I don’t like second chances/ They’re so ou t of fashion\,” they sing on the chorus. “You can’t read my mind/ But I think I like to keep you guessing.” It’s a playful anger\, shed by the s ong’s end. Fake Brave Life closes with its title track\, an epic suited to the landscape The Army\, The Navy was raised in. The churn of a bassl ine guides the listener into a mystical scene\, where the mountains coll apse under the weight of raw emotion and self-belief can make a person f ly. “You have to be brave to put out your music into the world\, you hav e to be brave and know some people will not like it\, and faking that br avery for enough time translates to true courage\,” the duo says. “We wa nt our listeners to feel seen\, their vulnerability and bravery acknowle dged. We want them to find a resonance in the lyrics and digest it. We w ant them to feel propelled to do scary things even if they don't have th e confidence to do them.” To be fake brave is to come upon your bravery by happenstance\, which is exactly what The Army\, The Navy did in their dorm room all those years ago. For them\, this has all been a wild adve nture they relay beautifully on Fake Brave Life.\n\nTickets: https://www .ticketmaster.com/the-army-the-navy-the-fake-charlotte-north-carolina-11 -03-2026/event/2D0064CCB10450E4\n\nhttps://findlocal.community/event/6b3 117a2-b7c4-4f49-a6e4-4cee4f93be84 LOCATION:Neighborhood Theatre\, Charlotte\, NC URL:https://findlocal.community/event/6b3117a2-b7c4-4f49-a6e4-4cee4f93be8 4 STATUS:CONFIRMED SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
