Today, Philadelphia’s Queen of Jeans have released another new single, titled “All My Friends.”
The single serves as the album opener on their new album, All Again, which is set to be released in June 28th via Memory Music. “All My Friends” is an ambient introduction to the record, hitting close to home for Queen of Jeans vocalist Miri Devora (she/her) and guitarist Mattie Glass (she/her).
While All Again is a mostly conceptual record, “All My Friends” is the most true song relating to their marriage, as it was written by Miri when Mattie was away on tour. Perhaps masterfully it captures the essence of home when the meaning of the word is defined more by a person than by a physical location.
Listen to “All My Friends” below and pre-order All Again here.
Part concept record, part postmortem — All Again tells the story of one relationship from beginning to end as it tumbles through loneliness and longing, elation and joy, pain and anger, and finally its foggy close that loops back to the ambient first moments of the record
With past releases, like 2019’s if you’re not afraid, I’m not afraid or 2022’s Hiding In Place EP, Devora and Glass went into Grammy-nominated producer Will Yip’s Studio 4 with sketches, collaborating with him to arrange the songs in the studio. This time they went in, not only with the addition of drummer Patrick Wall and bassist Andrew Nitz, but also with a complete vision for the record, allowing them to use that studio time to truly expand their sonic boundaries.
The result is an enveloping, rich indie-rock record, changing dance partners between 60s pop sweetness, 90s alt rock dirt, spacious emo, and the melodicism of the sharpest acoustic singer-songwriter acts.
