    Recorded long before the plague was just a twinkle in our eyes, "Ego Jingles" is the first proper solo album by Jail Weddings frontman/author Gabriel Hart. His quietest audio effort to date, "Ego Jingles" is an avant-folk art-damaged test of nuance, a challenge to our sensitivity — often tender, occasionally antagonistic, sometimes cringe, yet altogether difficult to ignore or dismiss. Equal parts internal Seppuku and exterior dread, "Ego Jingles" is not without moments of existential comedy, as punctuated by his album-closing cover of Weird Al Yankovic's "One More Minute" as a band-aid — but after that, you're on your own.

    Hart's guitar/vocals are accompanied by Julie Carpenter (Less Bells, Jail Weddings) on violin/viola/cello as well as Dain Luscombe (Less Bells) with additional instrumentation/production.

    Recorded/mixed/mastered by Pat Kearns (Exploding Hearts, Blue Skies for Black Hearts) at his solar powered Goat Mountain Studios in Landers, CA.

    Cover photography by Austin Arthur Hart/art design by Reuben Kaiban.

I did not exactly leave
A good impression
On the crowd who did not yet know me
Yet, held my future in their palm
The brave one mentioned he’d need some
More ammunition
So, I made a list
Of every kiss
I ever blew into the wind

So, why does it feel like I’m writing my own obituary?

Forty years of the blues
I guess it makes sense
That I should mine some diamonds from this cave
To gather some defense
But it’s so difficult to think it past tense
And when you’re putting out fires
With more fires
It’s no coincidence

Jail Weddings Los Angeles, California

Wilted Eden, the expansive third album by L.A.'s tarnished romantics Jail Weddings is one of those rare albums recorded in "real time" chronicling the intersection between the whirlwind birth and eventual death of new love, along with the sudden unforeseen deaths of many loved ones. Still standing in their 10th dizzying year, the Wall of Sound provocateurs return anew... ... more
