| Queen Of Jeans - EP |
Release Date: Out Now
Having only recently come across
this laid back Philly bunch on their latest single, 'Dance (Get Off Your Ass'),
it's delightful to receive a six track EP from Queen Of Jeans. The
aforementioned single kicks things off in its own lazily beautiful style full
of jangly guitars and dreamy vocals that you can't help but fall in love with.
'Pup' is up next and this is a real end of the evening slow dance as the
guitars struggle to muster the energy to change chords and you hang on to your
partner partly because you don't want the night to end and partly because
you've drunk too much. The wonderfully titled 'Rollerdyke' kicks things up a
notch with the kind of shimmy and shake that the B52s had in their heyday before 'Won't You'
gets all dreamy and ethereal on our asses again.
What Queen Of Jeans do
wonderfully is blend the 'rules' of psyche rock with the melodies of pop and
the work ethic of slacker indie to create the kind of music that you want to
make breakfast in bed to with the hope of some warm morning sex to follow. 'Moody'
has a darker tinge, however, and you could easily expect to hear this
soundtrack the opening moments of a dialogue heavy bar scene between two
central characters the night before the big plan plays out. The EP finishes up
with 'Waffles & Mad Men' (a Philly version of Netflix and Chill, I can only
assume) and they channel Best Coast, Tennis and a far mellower version of
Sleigh Bells like pros. These guys are one big hook or song placement away from
a breakthrough but they might just be too busy playing ping-pong and eating
Doritos to notice if and when it happens.
