Media Jeweler Share "TIghtrope" Video
Last month, LA's Media Jeweler announced their new album The Sublime Sculpture of Being Alive, which will be released August 13th on Fire Talk Records (Dehd, Mamalarky, PACKS). The follow up to their well-received 2015 debut $99 R/T Hawaii and their 2018 full length 1-800-SUCCEED, which saw wide acclaim from outlets like Pitchfork, NPR, VICE, Paste and Stereogum, the new LP marks some significant changes for the band, including the addition of a new member in Graham Ulicny of The Faint and Reptar, guest performances from members of Jo Passed, Living Hour, and Cursive, and a shift away from the band's instrumental roots, with member Sam Farzin taking on vocal duties on the majority of the album's 11 tracks. After announcing the album with the taut and direct single "Helicopter," today the band are sharing the album's second single "Tightrope."
Pre Order The Album!
‘The Sublime Sculpture of Being Alive,’ the new album from Los Angeles-based Media Jeweler, is a three-dimensional reckoning with the contradictions of life in all its manic altitudes and claustrophobia. Recorded over three chaotic weeks in Omaha, the band’s elaborate sonic infrastructures carry the same sense of studied experimentation as Palm, Guerrilla Toss or Deerhoof, rollicking across an energetic spectrum that parlay the band’s post-punk roots, jazz rhythms and art punk choruses into something greater than the sum of its parts. The most fully-fleshed release yet, a myriad of musical collaborators were enlisted uniting a finely-tuned sense of adventurousness that roves between the personal and political to frame an acute portrait of modern day societal revelation. ‘The Sublime Sculpture of Being Alive’ is out on August 13th on Fire Talk.
