“Lover/What’s Your Damage”
To Be Released 8/13/21
On Oliver Ackermann’s (A Place to Bury Strangers,
Death By Audio)
New Record Label Dedstrange
Listen to Lead Single
Jealous are a powerhouse trio making adventurous, unhinged art-punk and Dedstrange is here to cram it down your throat.
“Lover/What’s Your Damage?” is the first Dedstrange release and the debut double EP from these freaks from Berlin. It's a co-release with Jealous’ label Baby Satan Records, who will be issuing it on cassette. It’s got nine rippin’ tracks that twist glam, garage, cowpunk, and riot-grrl influences into a potent strain of DIY post-punk fury with enough energy to tear down the wall one more time. They’ve played across the pond with the likes of Viagra Boys, The Black Lips, Amyl And The Sniffers, and Surfbort—and they’re coming for you, world!
You might think you’re ready for “Lover/What’s Your Damage?” to hit the streets on August 13, 2021, but you’re not. These here songs are about what goes on inside a serial killer’s brain, the flaws inherent to human nature, and the softer side of drug comedowns.
Lead single “K-Hole II” is a soundtrack for the highs and lows of navigating an existential post-break-up trip. On “Blackeye,” pounding minimalist drums keep rhythm while a guitar part like a Vulcan mind meld between Mary Timony and Poison Ivy snakes its way across the mix until all hell breaks loose. “Fastcars” is a high-octane, in-the-red, just absolute bruiser of a cut, so try to keep up, alright?
Limited to 300 copies, “Lover/What’s Your Damage?” is the first official physical release from Jealous, and with all the buzz is sure to sell out quickly. Indie Berlin calls Jealous “rising stars within the alternative microcosm” with “a rather intriguing spectacle,” “mad pack energy,” and “an explosive sound.”
“Berlin trio Jealous rank amongst my favorite new discoveries of [SXSW],” says Joyzine.
About Jealous
Jealous’ members were all part of the Tel Aviv music scene, and were formed about 3 years ago in Berlin by Adi & Paz. Uri joined the band in 2018 after 2 previous drummers. Finding their home in the thriving “8mm scene,” and recording their debut double EP inside a rundown punk venue in Kassel, Germany, Jealous is soon to become the envy of every band they blow off the stage.
When they’re not honing their fierce live presence and loud, messy, dirty sound, Paz and Adi boost other bands within Berlin’s underground scene on their record label, Baby Satan Records.
