Swearing at Motorists' latest release, "While Laughing, the Joker Tells the Truth," is a collection of songs that blend a weary, lived-in perspective with Finley's signature melodic sensibilities. The album revisits themes of disillusionment and observational humor that have long been hallmarks of his songwriting.
- The album was recorded over several sessions at Miller Street Studios in Newark, NJ, with longtime collaborator and producer Pat Noon.
- "While Laughing, the Joker Tells the Truth" was released on May 16, 2025, by the independent label BB*ISLAND.
- The album features guest appearances from members of The Front Bottoms and Radiator Hospital.
Swearing at Motorists is the indie rock project of New Jersey-based singer-songwriter and guitarist Scott "Del" Finley. Finley has been releasing music under the moniker since the early 2000s, often collaborating with members of other notable indie acts. This album arrives after a period of relative quiet for the project, following 2020's 'This Is Not a Test'.
