INTRODUCING #21 JEANS WILDER
February 09, 2010,
Written by The 405
Hey, my name is Andrew Caddick, I live in San Diego, and smoke a lot of pot.
Even in it's brevity, it goes a long way towards describing the Jeans Wilder sound. It's sunny like his location but with more than hint of discontent, or cynicism. The drug aspect is a pretty easy target. It's dreamy stuff. Like being trapped in a jar full of smoke.
MP3: Jeans Wilder - Sea You
The words "You're such a motherfucking tough guy" are never sung more sweetly than on 'Tough Guy', a surfery track without the waves. Here's a "harsher" version of the track for you to look at/listen to:
It's not really a video that sums up his recording nature but I would imagine this is the sort of area it would go down in a live environment.
So there you have it. Another Lo-Fi, dreamy, messy underground star. Aren't we just sick of it?
Nope.

New MGMT is very Bowie-esque. [view article]

Yo Jake, where your review at, i'm curious! I think for me what made it stretch to 9/10 was teh fact it's really accessible and just occupies it's own little niche so well right now, I really can't think of a band with another recent release that I could compare them adequately to. Anyway, glad you liked it! [view article]

I love how everyone always forgets that this isn't the full lineup by a long shot and a good chunk of the best bands aren't usually announced straight away. [view article]

All three are worth a listen to be fair. I wouldn't have stretched quite as far as 9/10 (in fact, I didn't when I reviewed it elsewhere), but it is very good. Dusty Fruit is probably my favourite track (the early version of it, "Don't Trust the Dusty Fruit", is also very good!). [view article]
