JAMIE’S ELSEWHERE, featuring Of Mice & Men vocalist/bassist Aaron Pauley, along with Matt Scarpelli (guitar), Chance Medeiros (bass), and Mike Spearman (keys) — are thrilled to announce the release of Alchemical, their new, five-song EP arriving June 20 via SharpTone Records. It follows the July 2023-released Paradise EP, which marked the band’s first new music in almost a decade.
Now, the band has shared the video for the new single Traveler.
“We’re excited to be sharing Traveler with the world,” says Pauley. “From the inception of this project, we set out to make an EP that takes the listener through a familiar and nostalgic JE sound, that introduces new soundscapes and ideas that we’ve never explored, and that ventures everywhere in between. We want to thank our fans for the many years of support, and we hope you enjoy this EP.”
About Traveler and the accompanying video, the band says, “Working with Mike Matsui on the Traveler music video was an incredible experience. His vision, along with his team’s professionalism and creativity, truly brought the project to life in a way that exceeded all expectations.”
Pauley, however, sums the new material up concisely and with confidence, saying, “Shit’s rad, just listen to it.”
You’d be wise to heed his command!
Jamie’s Elsewhere enter an even more ambitious chapter with Alchemical. The California quartet continues to evolve its signature sound by blending emotionally charged heavy music with cinematic electronics, huge melodies, and signature intensity. This time, they craft a layered concept exploring transformation, identity, and inner alchemy — where personal growth feels as volatile and mystic as ancient science.
Since their original emergence in 2005, Jamie’s Elsewhere has carved a lasting legacy with fan-favorite releases like Guidebook for Sinners Turned Saints and They Said a Storm Was Coming, touring alongside genre heavyweights such as Motionless In White, Ice Nine Kills, and Memphis May Fire. After a period of dormancy, the band reignited its creative flame during the pandemic, returning in 2023 with Paradise, a conceptual comeback that reintroduced their vision with new fire. Now, Alchemical raises the bar yet again.
