Jaws of Death

With a band name inspired by the Richard Powers quote “May the jaws of death have cotton teeth,” the debut record by Brooklyn duo Jaws of Death is, similarly, a plea for mercy.

People I Won't Ever See Again is a snapshot of the past, a tender but honest ode to formative years. Lyrically, the album is a study in hindsight — both an effort to forgive the disappointments of youth and a love letter to the people, places, and mistakes that shaped us. Bandmates Ethan and Clay spent the better part of a decade as touring musicians, and memories of those years are scattered throughout the album.
