So we are going to cut right to chase “It Comes Back”, from Jean Paul Jean Paul may not only be the album of the summer but, we would also loudly argue that it may end up being one of the best albums of 2024.

From the first note on the electrifying opening track and red hot new single “Jai alai” it is crystal clear that Jean Paul Jean Paul are a musical force that needs to be heard .

The follow-up to 2022 debut Pollyanna, which boasted a Boston Emissions’ Song of the Year in “Bruiser,” this 11-track effort from Jean Paul Jean Paul finds desire at its thematic core, weaving tales of love, heartbreak, self-reflection, pain and joy as the cyclical nature of life plays out through a genre spectrum of guitar-rock that blends elements of jangle-pop, alt-rock, folk, reggae, grunge, and what the band itself dubs “guitarmonies”

Every song on “It Comes Back” from Jean Paul Jean Paul could easily become your new favorite song of all time.

Our ears were in total bliss as we sang and danced along to “Girl You Like “ the chorus was absolutely amazingly addictive.

On “Mona Lisa” we may or not have danced ourselves into an absolute frenzy in our living room ( We are claiming musical research)

For a band named after a sleepy Seinfeld character, Jean Paul Jean Paul has a level of energy that is second to none.

Produced, engineered, and mixed by Benny Grotto and recorded at Mad Oak Studios in the band’s home base of Allston.

“One major component that we all were striving for with this album was to capture the raw energy that these songs have when we play them live on stage,” says bassist Christopher Cornell. “Not to make a live album, per se, but to somehow thread that needle of raw live energy with amazing production value. The band isn’t afraid to incorporate any and all styles of music to avoid running the risk of becoming stagnant. We’re pulling from all of our roots and at the same time being open to what’s new.” 

Jean Paul Jean Paul ( Steve Harding: Vocals, acoustic guitar, percussion, Andy Gelb: ,drums, Christopher Cornell: Bass, vocals, Andrew Cornish: Lead electric guitar, 12-string guitar, Warren Forbes: Lead electric guitar, vocals and Tyler Dell’Aquila: Keyboard, vocals) are a band who have a style and sound that is brimming with musical brilliance.
