about

When Louisville, Kentucky’s Evan Patterson invented the moniker Jaye Jayle, he intended the listener to think that his music was created by an esoteric, unknown singer-songwriter. Those two made-up words, Jaye Jayle, created a visual: A Blue Bird Cage. It’s fitting that this record without his backing band has that title.

The six songs on the 12” vinyl album are presented in a stranded, lonesome, and stripped-down new form. With no backing tracks, synthesizers, or elaborate recording production, A Blue Bird Cage was recorded live in the studio with only a single guitar playing through three amps and Evan’s stunning vocal performance. These songs were originally written to be played with a band, not solo, but the world takes us to unforeseen mysterious places. Some of those times, in some of those places, we wind up alone.

About the album and recording, Evan said “After performing these songs solo every night on a month-long European tour, I felt I needed to document the experience. It’s not that I felt the songs were better than they had been… It was something that I felt compelled to share.”

The first single “Hope Faith County” is released as a standalone digital single. The rest of the album will not be available for streaming, nor will it be available in record stores. The 12” vinyl is only available direct from Evan’s new imprint Future Heart Works or at Jaye Jayle’s live shows. The first pressing is a limited edition of 100 green vinyl and 200 black vinyl. Evan has also personally handmade a limited two-color screen print of one of his paintings as a gift of appreciation to the first 120 orders.

“I became a father six months ago and decided that I wanted to kick off my Future Heart Works imprint by publishing my illustration book and pressing this recording. In the future, I’m also planning to help share work from some of my favorite musicians and artists”, Evan says.

lyrics

LYRCIS:
She flys in her dreams
Searching for him
But she only dreams about things she’s never seen
He sits on the corner of San Francisco and Cerrillos
He’s been there for years
He’s lost and she’s never been found
And she barely knows her way around town
Yeah, she barely knows her way around town
She barely knows her way
Santa Fe, crash landing mystery
Long black hair was the only debris
Space girl, are you searching for him
Santa Fe, crash landing mystery
Long black hair was the only debris
Space girl, have you finally found me
