Gabriel Hart of The Starvations (and Simon Stokes band) has been making this grand 9 piece band a favorite of west coast live music fans since 2008. Now joined by Dave Clifford of the Red Sparrows, VSS, & Pleasure Forever and Marianne Stewart of White Murder & the Commotions. Jail Weddings' epic second full length is quite aptly titled. Meltdown: the flailing emotional implosion often borne of a triumvirate of frayed nerves, volatile substances and excessive external pressure is clearly evidenced in the words and music herein. But, there's also a newfound sense of musical genres and histories mixing together like molten wax where the band's signature Shangri-La's, Bad Seeds, noir-hued pop merges with hazy psychedelia, bombastic rock and even essences of bizarre Eastern European folk. It's the sound of a band that's always been at the brink of self-destruction actually growing and thriving on its own chaotic impulses.
