JEEN has entered the 2020s with boots firmly planted in the current musical landscape. JEEN (2020), Dog Bite (2021) and Tracer (Oct 21, 2022) could be a trilogy of sorts. A strong reflective collection and a call on song to navigate these last couple of years.
Robin Hatch plays the lead synths on “Mountain,” the second single from Tracer. Its hazy shoegaze evokes a summer nighttime drive on the open road with your best mates, where the song envelopes the entire moment.

On Tracer, there is a more vulnerable and fragile quality to JEEN’s vocals. Both warmer and less angular. Perhaps affected by past experience, perhaps intentional. Whichever way, one can’t argue how intimate a space she creates on this record, vocally and sonically.
