Postcards From Jeff

Postcards From Jeff release their debut album Modern Language July 2015. An elegy for cinema revealing stolen glimpses of another world, another life. Each track a cinematic snapshot, shifting and shimmering in a flickering film light, capturing the timeless claustrophobia and psychodramas of small town suburbia. A soundtrack to a world wrapped in a rich language of isolation, of disconnection and delicious melancholia, where characters reach out to connect but miscommunicate with every step, staring into the darkness from the tree lined streets, out across the windswept moors and epic cloudscapes to a coming storm.

The albums opening single, Suburban Girl, projects itself into this half glimpsed cinematic universe, where falling for movie characters, getting lost in their world and struggling to find your way back is more powerful than real life. It's a song for Laura Palmer, a song for a faded small town weirdness, it's quiet desperation's stirred up through an imaginary cult classic, better than the real thing.

2014 saw the release of Postcards From Jeff's debut self-titled EP which was accompanied by two dark and dreamlike videos made in collaboration with award winning filmmaker Steve Glashier. This year, beginning with Suburban Girl, Glashier is onboard to direct all three of the debut albums accompanying videos, creating not only the cinematic snapshots that the songs deserve but turning all three into one single narrative, a short film within a film, following the complexities, themes and imagery of the record and delivering a piece of cinema that can truly turn Modern Language into the soundtrack it evokes.
