JADE IMAGINE Release new EP You Remind Me Of Something I Lost Share lyric video for ‘Heavy Machines’

Jade Imagine have been gracing stages around the world since they formed in 2016. You Remind Me of Something I Lost showcases the band’s deep and searching side. Opener ‘Coastal Pines’ is propulsive as a drive down a coast rode, as McInally explores the equal pull she feels towards the city and the ocean, having written much of the album and EP between Melbourne and the Sunshine Coast. This duality is present across the record: closing track ‘Feelin’ Blue’ is an atmospheric lullaby, reminiscent of the calm and serenity of the waves, and ‘Heavy Machines‘ is mechanical and paranoid, invoking a feeling of boxed-in urban sprawl. A guitar solo cuts through ‘Things Just Happen For You’, a ballad that wonders what a present and future can look like through different sets of eyes. Frontwoman Jade McInally (vocals, guitar, synths) writes lyrics of meditative exploration, her voice subtle and dynamic. Tim Harvey (Emma Louise, Real Feelings) and James Harvey (Teeth & Tongue) complete Jade Imagine’s core lineup, with bass on these recordings provided by Liam “Snowy” Halliwell (Snowy Band, The Ocean Party), for the last recordings from this original Jade Imagine line-up.

Jade Imagine released their debut album Basic Love in August 2019, on Milk! Records AU/NZ and Marathon Artists for Rest of World. Pilerats called the album “a spectacular return to form”, with The Australian describing it as “blessed with sinewy rhythm section…cool-headed and streamlined”.  Basic Love also received Album Of The Week on Triple R Radio (VIC),  Edge Radio (TAS), and Radio Adelaide (SA), received glowing reviews from The Australian to The Big Issue, and was long-listed for the prestigious AMP Album prize.

In March 2018, jade imagine travelled to the US to showcase at the prestigious SXSW music conference in Austin, as well as playing key shows in Los Angeles and New York City. The band have also toured the UK in support of Julia Jacklin (November 2018), and Pond (November 2019). Nationally, Jade Imagine have also played landmark support shows with Stella Donnelly, Lucy Dacus (US) and Alvvays (CA).
