Jawdropped have shared new single “Outside”. The Los Angeles band includes Roman Zangari (vocals/guitar), Kyra Morling (vocals/tambourine), and Sean Edwards (bass) — will release their debut EP, Just Fantasy, on April 26th via Fire Talk Records/Angel Tapes. Ahead of the EP the group have shared the single, “Outside.” After opening for This Is Lorelei, Jawdropped’s next live show will be a free EP release show at Zebulon on May 2nd.

Of “Outside,” the band adds: “‘Outside’ is about feeling like you never really fit in. But when you have true love in your life, feeling like an outsider doesn’t matter as much. The little voice in your head isn’t as loud when you have someone that knows exactly how you feel.”

Jawdropped formed just under a year ago in Los Angeles, California. LA courses through Just Fantasy, and it’s easy to imagine many of Jawdropped’s witticisms as overheard conversations at local haunts like Zebulon or Permanent Records. “I saw that your dad sent you money on Venmo, he said ‘Anything that’ll keep you stable!,” Morling sings on EP standout “Fantasy,” named one of Stereogum’s Best Songs of the Week. Elsewhere, Zangari sings of “vitamin deficiency, lack of sleep and ketamine,” satirizing the classic Los Angeles come-ups with celebratory melodies that burrow in the mind. The cheeky observations nuzzled in Just Fantasy eschew the high horse, and instead poke fun from across the bar. It’s a balancing act between cynicism and optimism, forever falling apart but never giving up.

Just Fantasy is available on a limited run of 50 cassette tapes via Angel Tapes (ira glass, Sleeper’s Bell, shower curtain), available for pre-order here. To celebrate its release, Jawdropped will perform a pair of EP Release shows, beginning at Los Angeles’ Zebulon on Friday May 2nd, followed by a performance at New York City’s Nightclub 101 on May 24th. Presented as an Angel Tapes showcase, the NYC show will also feature labelmates shower curtain, plus Bedridden and DJ sets from fantasy of a broken heart and Computerwife.
