Nine years since their debut LP, The Jealous Sound has emerged with their sophomore full-length 'A Gentle Reminder', to be released on vinyl through Burnt Toast Vinyl. Their previous and debut album 'Kill Them With Kindness' was embraced by critics worldwide, named one of Spin's best albums of 2003 and described by Spin writer Andy Greenwald as 'heartfelt guitar rock capable of punching you in the gut and patting you on the back.'

After taking time away from the band, frontman Blair Shehan reconnected with founding guitarist Pedro Benito, whose friendship with Nate Mendel (Foo Fighters) helped The Jealous Sound land an opening spot on the 2009 tour for the bassist's previous band, emo pioneers Sunny Day Real Estate. The old juices started flowing.

Made in the Foo Fighters' Studio 606 with John Lousteau producing, 'A Gentle Reminder' features founding members Shehan and guitarist Benito working alongside Mendel (filling in on bass for the departed John McGinnis) and new drummer Bob Penn. Josh Staples (the Velvet Teen) contributes backing vocals and bass on two tracks.

How the quartet coalesced to recapture the magic is a labyrinthine tale that covers three states and includes a lot of emotional baggage. The life lessons are revealed in the grandeur of the new album, a poignant and emotional triumph that not only proves a worthy successor to 'Kill Them With Kindness', but reveals the foursome at the top of its craft. Open[hearted, yes, but not really gentle at all, 'A Gentle Reminder' represents a 44[minute epiphany set to cascading guitars, thundering rhythms and Shehan's evocative vocals.

The long-awaited new album from Los Angeles indie rock sensations the JEALOUS SOUND-BLAIR SHEHAN (KNAPSACK), PEDRO BENITO (SUNDAYS BEST), JOHN McGUINNIS, and ADAM WADE (JAWBOX, SHUDDER TO THINK)-and the band's first release since freeing themselves from the grips of major-labeldom. Eleven new tracks-and a re-recorded version of "Anxious Arms"-of blinding, pounding yet infectiously catchy rock, delivered with huge hooks, spine-tingling guitars, hypnotic, breathy vocals, and strong songwriting. Produced by TIM O'HEIR (All-American Rejects, Superdrag, Folk Implosion, etc.).
