notes

"though its members are all teenagers, Jaded Mandolin is already among the most promising local neotrad string bands. On its debut eponymous album, the quartet treats traditional songs with just the right balance of respect and invention. But the real wonder is the precociously heart-wise songwriting. Their originals occupy the same brooding ground that urban songwriters love to wander, but they always turn toward some useful, brighter purpose ("In the echo of a lamentation/ there you'll find joy quietly waiting")." -- Scott Alarik, Boston Globe

"This exciting debut album by the local, teenaged, old-time string band will surpass even the high expectations of those who've seen them play...Jaded Mandolin creates a dark, swirling instrumental intensity that sounds personal." -- Daniel Gewertz, Boston Herald

"If they're jaded, I must be decrepit." -- Danielle Dreilinger, WBUR

"Jaded Mandolin brings an infectious youthful energy and enthusiasm to their music, though there is an obvious respect for the history of the songs. Seeing them, I feel like the future of the tradition is in good hands." -- Sean Staples of the Resophonics, Session Americana and many others
