Jaffe Currently on Sold-Out Tour of the UK and Europe with Midlake.
New York, NY – Sarah Jaffe is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of her debut full-length album – Suburban Nature. Due out May 2010 on Kirkland Records, the album was produced by John Congleton (Polyphonic Spree, Explosions in the Sky) who also produced Sarah´s debut EP – Even Born Again. The intensely intimate EP was released in August 2008 with limited distribution and earned Sarah a number of accolades including a feature on NPR´s "Song of the Day" for the title track and saw her winning several awards at the 2008 Dallas Observer Music Awards: "Best Folk/Acoustic Act," "Best Female Vocalist," and "Best Solo Act."
Suburban Nature will be most people´s introduction to this incredibly talented 23 year-old singer/songwriter from Denton, TX. However, Sarah has been turning heads with her memorable live performances over the past couple of years. Currently on a sold out tour of the UK and Europe with fellow Dentonites Midlake, her performance at 2009´s Austin City Limits Festival earned her a nod from Rolling Stone and a live show at Stubb´s had the Austin Chronicle calling her "…a major new talent."
Listeners can get an early taste of Jaffe´s expressive sound this week when the album´s first single "Vulnerable" is released digitally along with a remix of "Two Intangibles Can´t Be Had" – a song from her debut EP. The remix is courtesy of Manchester´s Working For A Nuclear Free City and when asked how the remix came about, Jaffe says "I fell in love with this song of theirs, ´Quiet Place.´ I randomly contacted them on MySpace and told them I was a new fan, loved their record, that whole business. I was really surprised to hear back from Phil asking if he could remix one of my songs, of course very willingly obliged."
Sarah Jaffe will be returning to the US later this month and will be joining The Flaming Lips, Midlake, Health, Neon Indian and more at NX35 March 11-14 in Denton and then heading to Austin, TX for this year´s annual SXSW festival.
