Our Take

JAWS OF LOVE.'s latest offering, "Michael & Me / Giving Up Is Not The Easiest Way Out" released for Record Store Day 2019, is a delightful treat for the ears. Frontman Kellen Osgood, known for his work with indie rock outfit Local Natives, showcases his softer side on this solo project.

The album kicks off with "Michael & Me," a dreamy track that transports listeners to a tranquil state of mind. Osgood's soothing vocals float effortlessly over gentle acoustic guitar melodies, creating a sense of serenity that is truly infectious. It's the kind of song you want to listen to on a lazy Sunday afternoon, with a cup of tea in hand and a contented smile on your face.

On the flip side, "Giving Up Is Not The Easiest Way Out" takes a more introspective turn, diving deeper into themes of perseverance and resilience. Osgood's heartfelt lyrics are backed by lush strings and atmospheric production, drawing listeners in and holding them captive until the very last note.

Overall, JAWS OF LOVE. has crafted a masterpiece with "Michael & Me / Giving Up Is Not The Easiest Way Out." It's a rare gem that deserves a spot in every music lover's collection. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let the magic of JAWS OF LOVE. wash over you. Trust me, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Jaws of Love

JAWS OF LOVE. is the moniker of Californian singer-songwriter Kelcey Ayer, best known as the lead vocalist of indie rock band Local Natives. With his solo project, Ayer swaps out the energetic rhythms and anthemic choruses of his main gig for a more introspective and stripped-back sound. Ayer's music as JAWS OF LOVE. is a sonic departure from the soaring harmonies and intricate arrangements of Local Natives, featuring delicate melodies and intricate instrumentation that create a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere. His soothing vocals and emotive lyrics draw listeners in, inviting them to experience a different side of his musical artistry. The debut album, "Tasha Sits Close to the Piano," released in 2017, showcases Ayer's songwriting abilities and his talent for crafting intimate, heartfelt songs that resonate with audiences. The album's minimalist production and atmospheric soundscapes create a sense of intimacy, as if Ayer is whispering his innermost thoughts directly into the listener's ear. With JAWS OF LOVE., Ayer proves that he is more than just a frontman for a successful band; he is a skilled musician and songwriter in his own right. His music is a testament to his ability to create captivating and evocative songs that touch the soul and linger long after the final notes fade away. In a musical landscape filled with bombastic beats and flashy production, JAWS OF LOVE. offers a refreshing change of pace with his understated elegance and emotional depth. Ayer's solo project is a testament to his versatility as an artist and his commitment to creating music that is intimate, honest, and truly moving.
