i was robbed 
in the middle of the night 
i waited for you here
to say my goodbyes 

did they come 
did you see them there
did they tell you what to do
and where to go? 

could you teach me how to climb into my mind
and make it right?
i'll make the sacrifice 
into the skies

i'm running out of time
i'm running out of time

was it hard? 
does it make sense now? 
am i talking to myself
again today

i’m not scared 
you can show me how
i’ll being waiting for that hole 
to disappear 

could you teach me how to climb into my mind
and make it right?
could you teach me how to miss you 
before i 
i have to say goodbye
i'm running out of time
i'm running out of time
you're running out of time
we've run out, out of

Out Of

Brooklyn's Jeanines specialize in ultra-short bursts of energetic but melancholy minor-key pop. With influences that run deep into the most crucial tributaries of DIY pop — Messthethics, the Television Personalities, Marine Girls, early Pastels, Dolly Mixture — they've crafted a style that is as individual as it is just plain pleasurable. Alicia Jeanine's pure, unaffected voice muses wistfully on the illusions of time, while My Teenage Stride/Mick Trouble mastermind Jed Smith's frantic Motown-esque drumming and inventive bass playing provide a thrilling rhythmic foundation.

"Winter In The Dark" and a cover of The Siddeleys' "Falling Off Of My Feet Again" provide great insight into what Jeanines are about. 60s-meet-80s melodies combine with timeless guitar jangle in a way that recalls everything from The Aislers Set and Saturday Looks Good To Me to more recent DIY pop groups like Parsnip and Chook Race. Album opener "Either Way," "Hits The Bone" and "Where We Go" hearken back to some of the most intriguing bands of the C86/C88 era, when bands like Jesse Garon & The Desperadoes crafted perfect pop gems enlivened by the inspiration of punk. Songs like "Where I Stand," "Too Late" and "In This House" are windows into Alicia's lyrical concerns of mortality and the passage of time. The marriage of the minor-key melodies and melancholic lyrics is powerful and make Alicia's songs all the more memorable, especially so on songs like "No Home," with its echoes of girl harmony post-punk groups like Grass Widow and Household.

Clearly, with 16 great songs included, there is a lot at work here on this standout debut album. Jeanines have been compared to such cult pop icons as Dear Nora, Black Tambourine, and more recent acts like Veronica Falls and Girl Ray, but their dark, modal melodies and pensive, philosophical lyrics, along with Smith's versatile but ever-economical musicality, ensure them a place of their own in today's crowded but boisterously healthy DIY pop scene.

‘It is true that Jaque M–– left Lisbon by boat in the winter of 1759, two hundred years to the day before the city opened its first metro system, and that he sailed with intentions of greatness and returned in disgrace, never speaking about why, or why he spent the rest of his life recreating scale-models of the buildings he claimed to have seen on the Arabian coast.’
