Snappy Little Numbers
Denver post-punk!!! For fans of the music of the early 1980s, here's your fix, despAIR jordan “Before Your Wings Gave Out” LP, sort of somewhere between Big Country and Television, the title of the song "Rhapsody in Black" perhaps capturing the sound, the music shimmering with hope but also drenched in melancholy, slightly stoned on cold wine and warm whiskey, detouring around death rock territories, avoiding the cold dark underground and the mistakes of Icarus, lifting slightly above the frozen ground wings wet with morning dew, soaring over settings where winter almost meets spring, settings that seem like a mix of memories and imaginings. Sorry to say it like that, but that's what it sounds like to me. -- winch
Limited edition of 30 on randomly mixed color vinyl with a bonus hand numbered Diamond Bee print. LP comes with a free deluxe download that includes the album plus the brand new "Hell Year EP” as a bonus!

despAIR Jordan's members have been kicking around the Denver music scene for the better part of two decades. Formed from the ashes of rowdier bands like SleeperHorse, Tin Horn Prayer and Sugar Skulls and Marigolds, despAIR Jordan is a mature and seasoned retelling of a story its members have spent years crafting. The band’s debut long player, “Before Your Wings Gave Out”, was originally issued by SLN in early 2021 in a digital-only format. Since that time, the band has picked up a slew of listeners and were able to start playing live as 2021 ended. With things moving forward in 2022, the demand for the album on vinyl needed to be addressed and SLN hopped back on board with DJ to make it happen. So, it’s our pleasure to present to the reader, again, “Before Your Wings Gave Out” by despAIR jordan.
