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 is diving into the song vault on ‘08-’18 Upgrayedd Mixes Vol. 1. 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.
From the opening chords and claps of “Agent Provocateur” to the nostalgic synth washes that close out “Synthony of the Night,” Autofare is an immaculately written and produced trip through indie-dance and electro-house.
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.
