Blue Jeans – Adult Hits | Indie Pop / Jangle Pop / Shoegaze | BBI-007

10 indie pop classics. The idea for Blue Jeans is T. Rex played by The Archies with the passion of Comet Gain and the archness of The Go-Betweens.

Second album from Michigan pop perfection trio Blue Jeans takes the pocket symphonies of their debut to a more rugged place. Still approaching sad-hearted indie pop from a place of minimal arrangements, these ten songs bring in shoegaze guitar squall, Sarah Records-esque pastoral jangle, glam thump and New Zealand wistful melodicism—all without losing consistency or overcooking simple pop hooks.

On straightforward and arrow-sharp songs, principal songwriter Tim Sendra (Veronica Lake, Madison Electric) and bassist/vocalist Heather Phares weave in layers of vocal harmonies. David Serra provides rock-solid drumming while Fred Thomas adds unobtrusive synth counterpoint and deft production twists. The songs fly by short and sweet, but the feeling is colorful, melancholy and lasting.

PRESS:

"Mining the sweet-sounding melancholy pop vein we crave and colored with a palette of scrappy muscle, urgent jangle and sharp hooks, the album is a musical statement of a band that has found their stride."
— When You Motor Away

"It's simplicity gives it this timelessness that listeners will keep coming back to."
— Austin Town Hall
