Ottawa – Today’s edition of Song of the Day features once again, another artist on the Triple J compilation I somehow got my hands on at some recent point in my life.
The Jezabels are an indie rock band from Sydney, Australia. They are unique because most Australian exports these days are of the electro pop party variety whereas The Jezabel’s dramatic indie rock approach is a nice departure from the usual suspects. This song originally caught my ears when it magically came up on my winamp during work and I thought it was a Jenny Watson song I’ve never heard before. Lead singer Hayley Mary has a nice powerful voice that has that soulful edge to it. It’s odd when a singer so young has a voice that sounds like it’s seen all that their is to see, but this lady has a voice definitely along those lines. This track is off their EP She’s So Hard and is a great sample of why The Jezabels are generating so much excitement back home. Their debut album Prisoner is out September 16. Have a listen.
