Media Jeweler describe their new album, “1-800-SUCCEED” as an “unavoidable hangover” following their 2015 debut, “$99 R/T Hawaii.” It’s a somewhat dark vision, they explain. “There’s no tube amp warm enough, no microphone sensitive enough, no pickup sweet enough to shake off the debris of this world. You can’t snap your fingers and step out of this claustrophobic plane of existence. ‘1-800-SUCCEED’ is the sound of this realization.” According to first single “Motivate,” it sounds like James Aranda, Sam Farzin, Colin Knight and Thom Lucero are using angular arrangements to work through their existential dilemmas. Recorded, mixed and mastered at Machines With Magnets in Pawtucket, R.I., by Seth Manchester and Keith Souza (Lightning Bolt, Battles, Load Records), the album will be released March 30 on Fire Talk Records.
