The Jealous Girlfriends make it work. The Brooklyn four-piece pull together the tunefulness of Anglo New Wave and BritPop, the aggression and energy of Washingtonian indie rock – both district and state - and infuse it all with a little soul, working an alchemy that transforms these base musical elements into songs crackling with tension and excitement that are instantly memorable while revealing something new with every listen.
Overtop a rhythmic foundation laid down by drummer Michael Fadem, Josh Abbott and Holly Miranda’s buzzsaw guitars carom and careen against Alex Lipsen’s square wave synths as their voices duet and duel overtop in tones that are playful and plaintive, menacing and mesmerizing. It’s this potent lineup that has crafted their eponymous album following a 2005 debut mini-album featuring only Miranda and Lipsen.
The Jealous Girlfriends have already achieved a tremendous amount for a wholly independent band, earning that blessing and curse of being one of the best-kept secrets in independent music. Now signed to Good Fences Records, they’re set to be unleashed upon an unsuspecting world.
Armed with hooks, barbs, and velvet-lined bludgeons, The Jealous Girlfriends – the album – makes a striking statement that reveals The Jealous Girlfriends – the band - as an outfit that bends and pushes against the boundaries of rock music not so much with the intent to break them, but simply to see what kind of shapes they can make.

Hey Hi Hello... Been daydreaming about getting over to rawk your side of the country, but the piggy bank is looking pretty sad lately. So, we'll just give you a virtual cruise till we can get an east coast thing happening (hopefully in the next year). Have a kickass week. Punk Rock! -Obedient Waves

Message to Holly and the Girlfriends: This song will seem like ancient history, but so be it. (I remember Sheryl Crow saying about "All I wanna do" that it's not the song she would have thought would be the one that really identifies her, but she was content that it turned out that way.
)

I don’t listen to much music, so when a particular piece impacts me I think about a lot.


Lay Around is such a piece. I suppose context matters, and the first time I heard was at the close of that television drama episode, when all the tumultuous emotions evoked by the best that Hollywood craft and art can produce had been brought right up to the surface in me.


The music had a powerful affect. It evoked an exquisite existential longing and yearning for – something. “A beauty that I can never seem to touch” is perhaps a good way to express it - that beauty being perfect love, or perfect connectedness, or perfect something. Oh, plus immortality and the absence of all pain – might at well get all the existential longings right out on the table, because they’re all interrelated.


So ever since, every time I hear the song all that starts roiling around again, and I struggle to understand and integrate it, and it comes to me that this existential yearning is probably what’s at the root of religion, because it’s easy to call that yearning a desire for something spiritual, something not possible in this world.


That’s useful, because it makes me think of what Sam Harris described as the empirical exploration of the nature of consciousness by Eastern spiritual disciplines, and that meditation offers a window on that nature - on what consciousness feels like, on how it’s somehow different from the “me” who thinks all these and other thoughts all the time. And I sense this spiritual yearning is directly related to that.

Anyway, thanks Holly & JG - Great music is all about affect, and as you can see, you laid some on this boy.
