Freeload: A Bunch of Songs From Urban Outfitters
- story THE FADER
Fans of good music and haters of vowels, come together and partake in Urban Outfitters latest URBN LSTN thing, in which they give away a crapload of free songs from a bunch of artists, some of whom have been given full endorsement by us in the pages of FADER Magazine and right here on this webternet site. Artists such as Grizzly Bear, Crystal Antlers, Apostle of Hustle, Passion Pit, The Big Pink, Amazing Baby, Jeremy Jay, Major Lazer, Popo, Lemonade, Nite Jewel, Phoenix and many more whose songs we’ve already posted here! It’s almost like they’re stealing from us! It’s almost like we should get compensated in some way! It’s almost like they should send over lifetime gift cards so we can stop wearing dirty t-shirts and duct tape shoes!

Video: Jeremy Jay, “Lite Beam”
- story THE FADER
Have we ever talked about Jeremy Jay’s crêpe game? He’s got one, and it involves strawberry preserves. Just something to keep in your conversation pocket for when you run into him. This is his new video which looks like he’s waiting with a couple weird Germans for a crêpe stand to open. It was co-directed by Jay and a guy named Sebastien Cazac who may or may not be French or German. Jay’s Slow Dance LP will be out on K Records on March 24th.
Exclusive Freeload: Jeremy Jay, “Where Could We Go Tonight?”
- story THE FADER
Jeremy Jay manages to capture teen melancholy without sounding like he’s in the middle of puberty. The best example of this is on Jay’s new album Slow Dance is “Where Could We Go Tonight,” the closing track, which is ostensibly about driving around aimlessly with your friends. And while it borders on corny (”You’re an angel from the stars/As you play those strings on your noble guitar”), he does capture that magic moment when you’re pretty sure something awesome is going to happen at any second even though most of your nights end with a four hour block of Newsradio reruns. Slow Dance is out on K Records on March 24th.

Video: Jeremy Jay, “Heavenly Creatures”
- story THE FADER
Jeremy Jay has been a staple of FADER listening sessions for almost a year now, and “Heavenly Creatures” was definitely one of the songs that put him there. It tends to get heaviest play during our monthly office prom, but it’s pretty versatile so use at will. We never really expected a video for it to come along this late in the game, especially one this engaging, but Bryce Kass of Daft Arts, who first caught our attention with is strangely heartbreaking video for Smog’s “I Feel Like The Mother Of The World,” made a lot out of just a few dimly lit Los Angeles pathways. Also with the video comes word that Jeremy’s sophomore album, and new single from it titled “Love Everlasting,” will be out in late January, after which he’ll hit the autobahns of Europe with fellow rock beanpole Bradford Cox and Deerhunter for a handful of dates. As always though, Jeremy is giving everyone a sneak listen to some new material, “Love Everlasting” included, over on his MySpace.
FADER TV: Jeremy Jay At The FADER/Fred Perry Party
- story THE FADER
Whoa dudes tripppppyyyyy! Jeremy Jay is squirming around like a tall tree wind, throw a couple in-camera video effects and you’ve got yourself a regular old 1994 type of time. Which, if you didn’t know, is great. Anyway, this video is from Jeremy Jay’s performance in LA at The Echo for the FADER/Fred Perry party. It may have been sweltering hot in there, but we’d do it all again in a heartbeat.
FADER/Fred Perry: These New Puritans + Jeremy Jay Sweat It Out In LA
- story THE FADER
First, the obvious: Friday night’s The FADER/Fred Perry Subculture party at The Echo in Los Angeles was hot. Equatorial hot. Science experiment gone wrong hot. Luckily the complimentary Bass Ale keep things as cool as possible. But you know what? Heat means dresses and shorty shorty short-shorts. The back patio was bursting with partiers, glowing with perspiration and looking fine. Inside, LA’s Jeremy Jay offered momentary reprieve from the record temperatures. Mixing dirty synth lines and slinky bass to their new glam, Jay and his band heroically kicked off the first show of their national tour. Even more surprising, J.B. from the UK’s These New Puritans really did rock his chain mail throughout the entire show. Dude, if you’re trying to lose the poundage, don’t sweat it (ha!)! You’re skinny enough!

Style Q+A: Jeremy Jay
- story THE FADER
It was hailing in Olympia when we rang Jeremy Jay at K Records, where he is mixing his new album, a fitting atmosphere for his moody French new wave songs about Chinese dragons and dreaming. An avid Francoise Hardy fan, we chatted with Jeremy about his personal style, dancing and his amazing mirror/prism belt in Texas. Read the interview after the jump.
Freeload: Jeremy Jay, “We Were There” & “Beautiful Dreamer”
- story THE FADER
Jeremy Jay has been an office staple for a little while now, we’ve been jamming his upcoming album so much so that we had him play the FADER fort in Austin this year. His music is melancholy in a way that makes us a little happy, plus he is really tall, like kind of surprisingly tall. He looks like his voice would be so deep but then it turns out it sounds kind of Joy Division-y and lilting and it’s a little sad.

Other People’s Parties: Jeremy Jay on the UT Quad
- story THE FADER
Having fallen hard for Jeremy Jay’s fluttery-fantastic set yesterday, we felt compelled to relive the magic in the dark. So we tromped twenty blocks uptown to the the University of Texas quad where the omnipresent Todd P was throwing his MIDNIGHT UNAMPLIFIED ACOUSTIC BBQ (sans the BBQ’n). We sat cross-legged in the grass with two-hundred fellow lovers, soaking up quick, quiet performances from Air Waves, The Muslims and about three bazillion other bands. The BBQ was slated to ramble on until 5am, but after Jay’s 1:30 performance, we headed home for sweet dreams.
