# Are You Alright? (Lovejoy EP)

Are You Alright? is the debut EP of English indie rock band Lovejoy, released independently through the band's label Anvil Cat Records on 8 May 2021. It contains four tracks and runs only 12 minutes and 5 seconds. Due to this, it was not able to chart by itself, however all four tracks became commercially successful. Over a year after its release, it was released on vinyl as a compilation album with its follow-up, Pebble Brain.

## Background

Wilbur Soot (real name William Gold) is an English YouTuber and musician who originally garnered attention in the late-2010s as a core member of the YouTube channel SootHouse. After SootHouse became inactive, Wilbur launched a solo career, with his livestreams and videos recorded from said livestreams helping him grow his own channel. In 2020, Wilbur joined the Dream SMP, created by then rapidly rising Minecraft YouTuber Dream. This helped Wilbur obtain an even larger audience and he had reached 4 million subscribers by February of 2021.

Wilbur's music began gaining popularity around the same time as his channel. On 11 December 2020, Wilbur released "[[Your New Boyfriend", which instantly went viral. It charted at number 65 on the Official Singles Chart in the UK, and it was certified gold in the US. In 2021, he formed the band Lovejoy with Joe Goldsmith, who had previously been in the same folk $group.^{:20:07}$ They were joined by Ash Kabosu and Mark Boardman and began immediately recording their first EP.
