Jae
Jæ is the solo-project of Dutch musician Jessica Sligter, who otherwise explores more experimental grounds with different formations in Norway, Holland and the USA.
Norwegian label, Hubro is released her full-length debut ´Balls and Kittens, Draught and strangling Rain´ October, 2010. The album was recorded in Oslo and Richmond (USA) and mixed by Mark Nevers (Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Lambchop a.o.) in Nashville.
Jæ´s music is an eclectic mix of influences including pop, pre-war blues, classical music, free improvised music and more, resulting in an intimate, beautiful sound that is kind of like those chocolate eggs: addictive, tasty, and there´s a surprise inside.
