Good Times Only

The Prague band Good Times Only (GTO) is preparing its third full-length album for release in the first half of 2026. Unlike their previous albums, Pěkný chvíle (2020) and Teď na to myslim (2023), GTO has now embarked on a path of creative and studio freedom without the help of a producer. While they collaborated with Jakub Kaifosz (Lazer Viking, Wild Tides) on their first two recordings, during the creation of new songs they only occasionally use the production consultations of Nikola Šolaj (Kvietah, Atomy Nevadí), who otherwise appears here as a mixing engineer.

The songwriting on GTO’s new songs is even more straightforward, with all five members working on them in their own studio at their home rehearsal space, with occasional visits to their friends’ studio, Space Tape. The lead single, GTFO, released in October 2025, was created in collaboration with producer fiedlerski (Mirai, Ben Cristovao, Marcell). The change in the sound of the five-member boy band is a newly discovered vigor, with more distorted guitars, rock influences, and abrasiveness. It is no coincidence that the working versions of the recordings included references to bands such as Deftones.

In addition to piercing guitars, there are rich synth pads, dirty breakbeats, as well as a fickle piano – all of which contribute to the sonic density, within which GTO does not lose its clarity and, through its Czech lyrics, is able to express itself more clearly than ever before. Their typical love songs and reflections on falling relationships are interspersed with confessions about inner insecurities, patterns of toxic behavior, fears about the future, and therapy experience. For the first time in their discography, GTO also promises collaborations with other musicians.
