Queen of Jeans

If it weren’t for the fact that both Miri and Mattie were each the tokenized female (and queer) members of their respective bands, Queen of Jeans may have never existed. Their mutual frustration became the glue that bonded them together, and gave them a chance to finally create the kind of music they wanted to make, inspired by both their experiences plus a wide range of artists like St. Vincent, Camera Obscura, and Fiona Apple. 

Releasing on Memory Music, Queen of Jeans’ All Again is 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. Miriam Devora (vocals, guitar, keys) and Matheson Glass (lead guitar, piano) along with the addition of Andrew Nitz (bass, keys) took extra care this time to create a Queen of Jeans full-length that reflected in sound and structure the emotional depths they were exploring.

The band recorded All Again at producer and engineer Will Yip’s Studio 4. The album’s 11 tracks, which play out a never-ending cycle of love and heartbreak, are loaded with presence and playfulness, giving weight to the memory and emotions that unfurl. As the record closes, it bleeds back into its introduction. Even when something is over, it’s not really over, is it?
