Hannah Jadagu’s second full-length takes on decidedly darker shades than its predecessor Aperture from 2023. The newly dusky sound is far from a coincidence; the songs on Describe were specifically inspired by a long-distance relationship as Jadagu toured to far-flung locations with peers like Wet and Faye Webster. Accordingly, there’s a sense of longing that runs through cuts like the easy-shaking “Doing Now” and the slow build of “Gimme Time”. Sonically, Jadagu’s music takes on more layers here as well—check the “Period, pooh” chants underneath the airy tones of “Tell Me That !!!!”, as well as the dissonant ambience that courses through closer “Bergamont” as Jadagu sighs with a tinge of hope, “Just keep me in your mind/When you go.”
