Details: Queen of Jeans “All Again” Amber Gold Swirl LP (2024, Memory Music). New stock, sealed.

Description: “All Again. Thats the title of the upcoming full-length record from Philadelphias Queen of Jeans. The LP tracks an entire arc that, by the final hazy vibrato wash of Do It All Again, bleeds back into the ambient first seconds of the record. Thought Id call tonight, hear how youre dealing, Miriam Devora sings to a distant lover on opener All My Friends in a neon-lit, melancholy tenor, the precise sound of lonesome love. The full band joins her in a beautiful night time sway, but its still no use: I got all my friends around, but Im not home til Im alone with you.

The rest of the record follows this relationship as it tumbles through loneliness and longing, to elation and joy, to pain and anger, and finally to its foggy close, where Devora admits, If I got to do it all again, Id find you there like I did back then.

Releasing on Memory Music, All Again is principally an enveloping, rich indie-rock record, changing dance partners between cheek-to-cheek 60s pop sweetness, 90s alt-rock dirt, spacious and pained emo, and the songcraft and melodicism of the sharpest acoustic singer-songwriter acts. Devora (vocals, guitar, keys) and Matheson Glass (lead guitar, piano) took extra care this time to create a Queen of Jeans full-length that reflected in sound and structure theemotional depths they were exploring …”
