Jennie Vee - Suffer

2018 EP release from the songwriter, guitarist, and bassist. Suffer is the follow-up to her debut album, Spying. It was written and recorded after she spent the spring of 2015 playing bass with Courtney Love (on the Endless Summer Tour with Lana Del Rey.) Since then, Jennie has supported bands like Echo & The Bunnymen, Manic Street Preachers, and The Darkness and has become a member of Eagles of Death Metal. Suffer features six tracks of shimmering dream pop, mixing razor-sharp hooks with heavy-hitting guitar riffs and vocals that transition seamlessly from sweet and melancholic to gritty and fierce. Jennie's songs are built on an essential balance of melody and noise, with equal attention placed on developing catchy hooks and crafting a signature fuzzed-out guitar sound. Her lyrics are raw and honest, with themes of loss, heartbreak, loneliness, and death recurring in her work. 'Hospital Bed' is a particularly personal song, exploring the guilt, anger, and painful decisions one faces while watching a loved one struggle with addiction. Like a page ripped from a diary, it's lyrics are meant to transport the listener into the moment, allowing for that inexplicable bond that can only be forged through music.
