Jaded Lover have a more serious aspect of their sound to highlight on their sophomore outing. “White Pelt” is a markedly somber single that features mystery vocalist Starlore.
Jaded Lover hits with more past goodness on ‘08-’18 Upgrayedd Mixes Vol. 2. A re-mix/master “Upgrayedd” treatment on two tracks, with a new song that only existed as an unreleased demo before now.

In the hands of Jaded Lover, “It Hurts” is a sonic journey between spaced-out self-reflections, punctuated by the occasional, sweeping bass drop, making it both the perfect track by which to chill and vibe.
Samples of lonely maritime gales usher in “At The Dunes,” which pits detuned pads against bass and guitar with a soft, seaside lilt. “Call Of The City” slightly picks up the pace and unfurls into an infectious synth-pop instrumental. “Lawn Mowers At Night,” draws heavily on Potions’ sombre guitar tones over a bed of electronics.
“The Thing Expands” is based on Carpenter’s “The Thing” and adds an ominous kick drum while swapping out Ennio Morricone’s string arrangements for analogue synth squelch that’s as cosmic as it is foreboding.
Although mostly instrumental, plenty of standout tracks shine through on this release. There’s the glimmering fanfare of “Sun Vow,” popping slap-bass and melodic hooks of “It’s Policy!,” and the off-kilter whimsy of “Heart II” for starters.
