Montclair, NJ band Stolen Jars, started by duo Cody Fitzgerald and Molly Grund, plays an intimate and imaginatively percussive brand of dream folk. They haven't rushed things since the release of their well received self-titled debut album in 2011, releasing few tracks tracks in the following years (including a cover of Beyonce's hit "Love on Top"). However they've been very active live, playing shows all over the East Coast, and opening for the likes of St Lucia and Jessie J, and you've even heard their catchy single, "Driving", in an iPad commercial. This year, Stolen Jars have released three singles off of their upcoming album, "Kept." The eponymous track (streaming below) highlights the band's sweetly melodic vocals, and their peculiar, creative use of drums. The song boasts an energy that's snappy and gentle all at once. After packing Pianos last week, they'll be celebrating the release on August 28th at Arlene's Grocery and touring around the NYC area leading up to the date. The home party will be back at home in Bloomfield, NJ on August 29 at All Sounds. They are also playing Elvis Guesthouse on 08.07. Check out also the more recent single 'Bright Red.' - Sam O'Hara
