holy, effin crap! i seriously have been waiting on a new jealous sound record since kill them with kindness which was released in what, 2003? i dont know what the hell happened during the past 9 years? nor do i think i want to know, or need to know, but i am very very psyched to listen to this. havent listened to the single yet which somehow has been up on soundcloud for 3 months without my knowledge? crazy talk! getting back to that record, i cant recommend it enough, or any of knapsack’s records which was blair shehan’s previous band – blair being the lead singer/guitarist. the new record entitled a gentle reminder is due out on 1.31 on music is subjective. im only two songs in, but thus far loving it. 9 years is a long time, i was 27 when kill them came out, and i know i have changed a lot since then. so, it only makes sense that some of the angsty/anxiety-ridden songs that filled their debut would be replaced with a man/band who are more comfortable with their place in the world. either way, im just happy their back.
buy kill them with kindness
Your Eyes Were Shining by The Jealous Sound
Fuck. Yes. So good. Saw them open for SDRE last year with the original line-up and they sounded as good as they did 10 years ago.
