JADE IMAGINE - Cold Memory LP

Housed in recyclable paper outer bag.

"The last time we got an album from Jade Imagine, it was stocked with snappy, wry indie rock not so far away from Courtney Barnett, whose Milk Records label releases the Melbourne quartet’s output. But three years (and one pandemic) on, Jade McInally’s namesake band has grown noticeably more subtle and introspective – a mindset that perhaps echoes many months of lockdown.

A gorgeously layered record ideal for headphones, ‘Cold Memory’ swaps out the rock hooks of past Jade Imagine material for starry synths, dazed choruses and guitarist Tim Harvey’s low-key production flourishes. That doesn’t make it any less rewarding, though, especially with an entrancing rhythm section comprised of bassist Madeline Lo-Booth and freelance drummer Marcel Tussie (Stella Donnelly, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever)." - NME
