MP3 Nick Jaina - “Power”

Nick Jaina has one hell of a new record coming out March 4th on Hush Records. It’s called Wool and it’s not a stretch to say that these 14 songs (that is, if you count the various “Interludes” that pop up throughout the album) are easily his best work to date.

Jaina’s vivid songwriting beams with a newfound sense of confidence, and his deliberate pace and structure of the songs allow for each and every word to wield their substantial emotional weight. To be honest, it’s a little staggering to realize how grand Wool really is.

Not known for slacking, Jaina is doubling up on the CD release shows. He’s playing a pair of shows in one night, February 22nd, at Mississippi Studios. For now, enjoy your first peak at Wool
