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! : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 0 \/
