Oliver Ackermann of A Place To Bury Strangers gets his newly founded label, Dedstrange, under way with a very strong debut release by the Berlin via Tel Aviv punks, Jealous. K Hole II is the opening number to the band's upcoming double EP, Lover/What’s Your Damage?, which arrives in its entirety on August 13th, 2021.
In its six and a half-minute fullness, K Hole II presents Jealous taking their wide-ranging version of art punk through glam rock, riot grrl and lo-fi rock passages, with their footing cemented in cowpunk and gritty garage rock. The track undergoes a few different mood and tone shifts, ultimately bringing about something both exciting and stirring.
Originally coming from the Tel Aviv music scene, Adi and Paz formed Jealous three years ago in Berlin, and after some lineup changes they were joined by Uri in 2018. The band have also founded the label Baby Satan Records which will be releasing the double EP on cassette alongside the limited to 300 copies vinyl from Dedstrange. The band has shared stages with Viagra Boys, The Black Lips, Amyl And The Sniffers, and Surfbort, and the razzmatazz keeps being built for many good reasons.
