Post Malone - Austin 2LP (Forest Green)

On May 15, 2023, the artist posted an Instagram video to announce the record by saying, "I wanted to tell you guys that I have an album coming out this summer on July 28. It's called Austin". The album is titled after his birth name. The message hinted at a different artistic approach, possibly intensifying the sound of Twelve Carrot Tooth Ache. The singer revealed that he played guitar "on every song on the record", calling the creation process a "fun experience". The outcome was described as the "most challenging and rewarding music" he had ever done, a product of constantly pushing himself.
