CEREBRAL BALLZY – jaded and faded – VINYL LP (black)

Jaded & Faded is the sophomore studio release from Cerebral Ballzy and the follow-up to their self-titled 2011 debut. Frontman Honor Titus describes the sound of Jaded & Faded as “way more melodic…a lot of it is rooted in our favourite power pop bands like the Nerds and Blondie. Melodic punk that really holds something. Still aggressive, too. Kids that attach themselves to ‘Skipping Class’ and ‘On The Run’, there’s a melody there, every time we play it the kids are down.”




The 13-song set was recorded at Sonic Ranch outside of El Paso, Texas with producer David Sitek (TV on the Radio) and was mixed by David Kahne, who has previously worked with New Order, Stevie Nicks and the Strokes, to name a few. Titus hails Sitek as “…a fucking mad genius man…He knows what he wants, he knows how to get it and he stops nothing short of perfection. He’s really talented, and he’s a cool dude, we all love Dave.”




Describing his time in the studio while recording the record, Titus adds, “there was a lot of power-pop influence going on with [Jaded & Faded]. Dave just really honed in and made it a polished sound for us. Everyone that’s heard the second album in its entirety has just been like, you guys have stepped it up tremendously.”
