Jane Dire has come to tell you stories from a sunny place turned sour. High & Low in Sydney is the second record from the loser-rock troubadour that takes the classic underside of rock n’ roll and leaves it to bake in the sandy city’s sun. From bullshit ballads like ‘Don’t Come to Sydney’ to raw emotions in ‘Uncomplicated Situation’ and love lullabies in ‘Coco’s Place’, Jane Dire has painted a picture that every Sydneysider can recognise — and use to embrace their messiest selves. Beginning with a handful of stories and an acoustic guitar, this record was first recorded as raw acoustic demos in Jane's attic, followed by a hard-edge production from producer Alec Mallia and additional recording at Newtown's The Confectionery studio. Joining the chaos as session musicians were Jake Jamieson (The Slims) and Gabriel Haslam (Manfredo Lament), making for a mini supergroup that creates the electric energy of this quintessentially Sydney record. Please enjoy your stay, and remember to use protection. Jane recommends SPF50+ and Skyn.
