London-based power pop/alt duo Jade Hairpins have unleashed their new single “My Feet on Your Ground“.
The song features on their upcoming second album ‘Get Me the Good Stuff‘, which will be out on out September 13 through Merge Records. Pre-order your copy here.
Jade Hairpins, consisting of Jonah Falco and Mike Haliechuk from Fucked Up, quickly fulfill the title of their new record. From its harmony-drenched opening note to its baroque-anthemic conclusion, Get Me the Good Stuff is positively loaded with musical ideas, stacked on top of each other, creating an absurdist aesthetic and soundscape. However, those elements—punksploitation, power pop, baggy, funk, and Italo disco are just some touchstones—are not only held aloft, they defy gravity and convention.
Falco describes “My Feet On Your Ground” as the result of his and Haliechuk’s “chasing down the style” of Talking Heads’ “The Great Curve.” It is an intricate demonstration of the pair’s approach to their influences, bending the core idea around Chic-inspired guitars and the monotone vocal delivery of a Madchester smash. It’s a thrilling act of synthesis that breaks open into an exuberant saxophone solo by Falco’s mother, Jane Fair.
