Jaye Jayle

Young Widows will tour Europe this October.

Only ten shows and nine of them our long loved from and now (as well as ) will be opening solo with his AICHER sonic experience.

Looking forward.

Preorder …It’s Jayle Time! by Jaye Jayle now.

Both the gold splatter vinyl with black jacket and the black vinyl with chipboard jacket versions are limited to only 100 copies. All preorders include an exclusive screen printed Comfort Colors shirt. Preorders end in one week on May 1, 2026. Worldwide shipping is available.

Originally released in 2014 as four different seven-inch records through four different record labels (Sophomore Lounge We Are Busy Bodies Hawthorne Street and Jade Tree ) ...It’s Jayle Time! is the first actual full-length recording from Louisville Kentucky’s Jaye Jayle, but two of the songs from the session were never released. Twelve years later …It’s Jayle Time! receives its proper twelve-inch record release, including all ten songs from the recording session.

The first pressing is a limited edition of two hundred records; one hundred on black vinyl housed in a black ink screen printed chipboard jacket and one hundred on splatter gold vinyl housed in a gold ink screen printed black jacket. This album is the sonic building block for what would become Jaye Jayle’s defining sound of droning minimal blues, human drum machine-like percussion, dystopian synthetic atmospheres, and simple storytelling.

Power Sucker by Young Widows came out 1 year and 20 days ago.

Not unlike every other album that I have made; this is a very different album that stands on its own. Power Sucker the least painful and least grey of all the Young Widows albums and I love that about it. If someone told 24 year old me that I would still be making Young Widows records in 20 years I would have laughed and said “yeah right” Truly incredible to experience all that we have done and all that we will continue to do. Thanks to all the friends for tagging along last year: Porcelain CHERUBS Kowloon Walled City FOTOCRIME Rid Of Me Kal Marks PYGMYLUSH Thou of Baton Rouge, Louisiana Null Helms Alee wouldn’t have such nice times without you. Appreciate all and every aspect of being able to sharing our art with one another.

Young Widows plays chicago tomorrow Forever Deaf Fest
Looking forward to it.

A bunch of songs my friends and I haven’t played in many years. Well, not all of them. It is true that we didn’t play a single show last year. These two that are coming up will be special. Hope you can make it. We’ll be there.
