Get Me The Good Stuff

Description

Get Me the Good Stuff is the second album by Jade Hairpins, a duo formed by Jonah Falco and Mike Haliechuk. From its first harmonious note to its baroque conclusion, Get Me the Good Stuff is positively packed with musical ideas, an absurd buffet of sounds and aesthetics that comes with a hell of a show. Instead, these elements—punksploitation, power pop, baggy, funk, and italo disco are just a few examples—are not only kept afloat, they defy gravity and conventions. As the music struts and gallops, Get Me the Good Stuff tackles anxiety and self-doubt, obscuring pain and alienation with a sparkling spirit and pure, hard-hitting bangers. Theatrical and personal, absurd and realistic, playful and serious, Get Me the Good Stuff is an album that showcases remarkable personal and artistic growth and hints at dozens of potential futures. Sometimes, these songs just want to please, as in the title track, where mischievous self-deprecation rubs against Freddie Mercury's self-satisfied grandiosity. Elsewhere, like in "Better Here Than in Love," Jade Hairpins focuses on creating stunning soundscapes that exist nowhere else, channeling post-punk through the shimmering haze of 80s Japanese electronic music.
