Bedroom Suck present the debut album from Cosima Jaala under the band moniker, JAALA.
With Cosima Jaala on lead vocals and guitar, Loretta Wilde on bass, Maria Moles on drums and Nic Lam on guitar, Hard Hold feels like a gateway jazz album, although Jaala have themselves described their sound as “jangling indie rock and proggy art-pop”.
It’s broad in scope, from the rawness and looseness, to the disjointedness of funk basslines. The influences of improvisational jazz and math rock make themselves known in the seemingly messy arrangements on the album.
