: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Jade Hairpins snuck onto the scene in late 2018 with a :,
: mysterious 12-inch on Merge Records and a couple of poetic :
:' sentences about hiding in trees. Arts & Crafts remained ':
,: tight-lipped while touting Dose Your Dreams, a truly epic new :,
: Fucked Up album released on the same day. Fast forward to 2020, :
:' when Fucked Up drummer Jonah Falco and songwriter/guitarist ':
,: Mike Haliechuk burst out of the proverbial trees with Harmony :,
: Avenue, a collection of songs written and recorded in real time. :
:' Pop foraging with analog acoustics and electronic landscaping. ':
,: :,
: As the project expanded, Falco took on frontman and main :
:' lyricist duties for the first time and built a live band based ':
,: in his adopted hometown of London, England. He describes the new :,
: record as ôstraddling the post-post-punk of something like New :
:' Order, Scritti Politti, and Orange Juice, with a primordial ':
,: sense of humour and absurdity not unlike Ian Dury and the :,
: Blockheads, Television Personalities, or the Monks.ö :
:' ':
,: Each Jade Hairpins song was conceived in studio, then edited and :,
: crafted to become Harmony Avenue. Each vocal approach was :
:' differentùfirst focusing on creating stories for ':
,: character-based writing, and then on less absurd :,
: emotional/thoughtful/personal reflection. The LP was originally :
:' conceived as a potential addendum to the universe of Dose Your ':
,: Dreams, but the end result was more exciting than Falco and :,
: Haliechuk anticipated and deserved its own spotlight. :
:' ':
,: The themes of Harmony Avenue mostly focus on contradictory :,
: behavior and double entendres as well as regret and control, :
:' revelation, support, and complete absurdity. Jade Hairpins are ':
,: here to challenge, confound, and sparkle their way into :,
: listenersÆ hearts and keep them coming back for more! :
