Released alongside the more aggressive and heavy guitar fuelled track ‘my little tony’, ‘Jelsy’ is slower and more contemplative with a clear shoegaze influence. 

At times the lyrics seem almost nonsensical as the band members contradict each other, and sometimes themselves, likely due to how each member writes their own vocal parts with only minimal interference from the others. Nina poses the question “don’t you see that being alone can be good for you?” in the second verse but ends the song with the line “isolation is the problem”. It feels intimate, as if we’re listening to the band’s own personal thoughts as they reflect on love, obsession and loneliness.  

It’s hard to interpret their songs as the band are keen to maintain their privacy. Their social media presence is refreshingly minimal in today’s world where most bands rely on an intense Instagram/Tiktok presence to gain fans. During live performances, it’s rare to hear the band speak between songs. In an interview with 032c, Jezmi talked about how the band may be perceived: “I think a lot of people look at it as us being rude or whatever, but we’re smiling at them the whole time… I think people just realize we’re quite shy”.

Their next album The Twits is set to be released next month and the band will be exhibiting drawings at the Frieze Gallery in London on October 27th.
