Atlas was a pretty big record for us, and chances are if you’re reading this, it’s a pretty big record for you too. Nobody ever said, “I love Real Estate, but I hate their third LP, Atlas.” And if they did say that, they never said it anywhere around us - and we read everything you guys write on the internet; some of it can get pretty weird. And so, on this momentous occasion, we will be bringing A CELEBRATION OF ATLAS to a city near you, to honor its 11 year and 7 month anniversary. We’ll be playing almost the entire album in its entirety (basically) and other lesser known tunes from the Atlas era. We’ll also be playing a selection of our greatest hits, because we know you love those too. Please come and celebrate with us - we can’t wait to see you. 

Jawdropped formed early 2024 in Los Angeles, California. Each of its members (Cook Lee-Chobanian, Sean Edwards, Kyra Morling & Roman Zangari) orbited one another in the city's bubbling DIY community, trudging a trail of past projects that eventually brought the band together. Los Angeles courses through their debut EP Just Fantasy, and it's easy to imagine many of Jawdropped's witticisms as overheard conversations at local haunts like Zebulon or Permanent Records. "I saw that your dad sent you money on Venmo, he said 'Anything that'll keep you stable!," Morling sings on EP standout "Fantasy," interstitching signposts of modernity between timeless platitudes. Elsewhere, Zangari sings of "vitamin deficiency, lack of sleep and ketamine," satirizing the classic Los Angeles come-ups with celebratory melodies that burrow in the mind. The cheeky observations burrowed in Just Fantasy eschew the high horse, and instead poke fun from across the bar. It's a balancing act between cynicism and optimism, forever falling apart but never giving up.
