Freshly returned from a whirlwind run of dates in Turkey, Armenia, and the Republic of Georgia, Jade Hairpins welcome their second album, Get Me the Good Stuff, into the world with style, sharing a clip for standout track “Better Here Than in Love” composed of footage from the tour. Get Me the Good Stuff is available wherever you stream music, and on CD and LP from the Merge store!

Jonah Falco on “Better Here Than in Love”:

“Better Here Than in Love” is about nearness and happiness. About observing from quiet, obscure safety, never knowing the intensity, fulfillment, hurt, loss, and satisfaction of feeling everything in earnest. About thawing fear. It’s written as a song of resignation, almost a happy lament—but with a small, crumpled piece of paper on which a secret message of hope and encouragement is scrawled, surreptitiously placed inside your pocket to be found at the right moment.

Hitting near the end of Get Me the Good Stuff, the song is a pivotal moment in the hero’s journey that underscores the album, the pressures of creating art and being seen and feeling worthy finding a moment of release in one of the most gorgeous soundscapes Falco and Mike Haliechuk have yet committed to record.

Jade Hairpins’ touring activities will resume this November, with a UK/EU tour in support of Chubby and the Gang. Additionally, Jade Hairpins will perform a special acoustic duo show at London’s Rough Trade West in October. Tickets for all dates are on sale now.
