>> Jets to Brazil

With toned-down music more fitting his lyrical approach, Jawbreaker front man Blake Schwarzenbach shifts gears to all-out emo. With slow melodic bass lines, deliberate rhythms and a mixture of melodies provided by slow, basic guitar noodling and keyboards, Jets to Brazil features downbeat yet intricate music. Schwarzenbach’s lyrics deep further into personal issues than standard Jawbreaker fare, gaining power from the prudent arrangements.
