Jaill (Burger, Sub Pop), White Knuckles, Bear Call JAILL is a lot like other bands; theyve slept on your floor, youve made fun of their pillow cases, theyre not nearly as good at Excitebike as they said they were and although they all say theyre cool with cats, no ones excited about sleeping at the cat house. So it should come as no surprise that, as bands sometimes do, theyve made a new record. And that record is Traps, their second for Sub Pop, but first to adopt the bold new marketing strategy of giving away a free pair of Nike cross-trainers to anyone who steals it on the internet. Take that, Radiohead. So, but, what is Traps? And what about it can best fill five paragraphs? Traps is pretty, its moody, it pops. It has the scrappy, vengeful enthusiasm of a puppy stuck under a blanket. Its an adorably grumpy bear just awoken from his long winters slumber, with a mangy heart rarely found outside of the stuffed animal bin of a Salvation Army. Its an album that expects to be taken seriously goddammit, even though it just puked on the bar.
