With a date finally confirmed (the 9th of September 2022), the multidisciplinary masterminds known as Jockstrap will be dropping their eagerly anticipated debut album I Love You Jennifer B. Since making waves with everything from bedroom bops to bombastic bangers, many look forward to hearing what will come next. Fortunately, the duo have dropped a sneaky single to whet the appetites of those concerned which is titled “Glasgow”.
Describing the lead single, half of the Jockstrap equation Taylor Skye stated; “‘Glasgow’ is our coming of age, moving forward, long-distance, travelling, beautiful bosk, wonderful thicket song.” The video which accompanies this heart-warming track sees the duo bound and frolic through their respective habitats, the disparity of their outlook as they make their way along sandy shores and byroad junctions create something gleefully funny. The song features a sweet acoustic chord progression that swirls amongst the twinkling circuit crackles and symphonic strings. Once again, This group weave a certain kind of magic that puts you in a myriad of moods and feelings all at once, leaving you feeling both excited and bemused as you try and fit the pieces together. Check out the video down below:
Discussing the upcoming LP, bandmembers Georgia Ellery and Taylor Skye said; “I Love You Jennifer B is a collection of Jockstrap tracks that have been 3 years in the making. Everything on it is pretty singular sounding so we hope there is a track on there for everyone and something that speaks to you and says ‘I’m a banger.’”
With a host of new hits sure to hit that familiar sweet spot, the new album will also include an extended version of their semi-recent smash hit “50/50”. Take a look at the official track listing down below:
