Jukebox The Ghost

The appeal of a modern, on the rise indie band like Jukebox the Ghost is simple: They write catchy songs. On top of that, they're dynamic, skilled musicians. The band's records are carefully structured, yet wildly diverse affairs. And the live show? Energetic, crowd-pleasing, cathartic.

The Philly trio's new album, Everything Under the Sun, produced by Peter Katis (Interpol, The National) and set for release this fall on Yep Roc, highlights all of these elements over 11 tracks, each one leaving its own unique sonic footprint. But constructing and arranging the songs to their full potential took years of preparation, both on the road and in all of the basements, houses, hotel rooms and studios where the songs were born.

"There was never a lull in songwriting, even when we were touring." explains guitarist/co-vocalist Tommy Siegel. "We went into the studio with 25 nearly-finished and arranged songs, and we put a lot of time into crafting each one. It was a conscious effort on all of our parts to mature as a band."

Since their 2008 debut, Let Live and Let Ghosts, a sunny, piano-led explosion of pop exuberance, Jukebox The Ghost has logged hundreds of shows and thousands of hours on tour -- all of which helped the guys develop the patience and perspective needed to deliver a more intricate and serious second record.

"More than just a sigh of relief after a long wait, the album sees the trio grow as a unit and as individual musical entities. Rare is the effort that can truly live up to expectations. But for a fury of intelligent, emotional, and insightful pop music with hooks and catchiness to spare, Everything Under the Sun would have been deserving of more than a mere two-plus years wait." - consequenceofsound.net
