Jawdropped Release Debut EP via Angel Tapes !
This Friday, Jawdropped — the Los Angeles rock’n’roll band helmed by Roman Zangari (vocals/guitar), Kyra Morling (vocals/tambourine), and Sean Edwards (bass) — release their debut EP, Just Fantasy, via Fire Talk Records’ emerging artists imprint Angel Tapes. Just Fantasy is music for being late to work; music for hanging with your friends at the same bar you always go to; music for thinking about moving to New York, but never leaving LA. It's a five-track outing filled front-to-back with arena-ready rock, and you can hear the whole thing today.
Jawdropped formed just under a year ago in Los Angeles, California. LA courses through Just Fantasy, and it's easy to imagine many of Jawdropped’s witticisms as overheard conversations at local haunts like Zebulon or Permanent Records. “I saw that your dad sent you money on Venmo, he said ‘Anything that’ll keep you stable!,” Morling sings on EP standout “Fantasy,” named one of Stereogum’s Best Songs of the Week. Elsewhere, Zangari sings of “vitamin deficiency, lack of sleep and ketamine,” satirizing the classic Los Angeles come-ups with celebratory melodies that burrow in the mind. The cheeky observations nuzzled in Just Fantasy eschew the high horse, and instead poke fun from across the bar. It’s a balancing act between cynicism and optimism, forever falling apart but never giving up.
We are only making 50 tapes of this, which will be shipping at the end of May. Pre-order yours and get a piece of history in the making.
