Jaill :: "The Stroller"

There is more than a hint of menace in Jaill's debut, That's How We Burn. On "The Stroller", shabby, whip-smart, sawing guitars back an arrangement that is equal parts Thermals and Death From Above 1979, with a little of personal favorite The Mess Hall thrown in for good measure. The pre-chorus asks tense, rhetorical questions, "When you're panicked, do you count to ten? When you're surrounded, do you hold your breath?" The band's second LP and Sub Pop debut is due on the 27th. See if you can survive until then, unless you plan on holding your breath.
