You formed Jade Street in May 2025 and moved fast with two singles\u2014what clicked between you that made this partnership feel organic?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Zachary Zwelling<\/strong>: At its core, Jade Street works because we share an almost obsessive sense of drive. We\u2019re both deeply ambitious and meticulous about every detail, but that intensity only works because it\u2019s grounded in genuine trust. Since May, we\u2019ve spent nearly every day writing, recording, or planning what comes next. We don\u2019t always agree; in fact, we often don\u2019t, but the respect and friendship behind the process allow our project to always take precedence. We consider ourselves lucky to have found a partnership with such a high level of shared purpose; it\u2019s exactly what forms the backbone of this band.\u00a0<\/p>\n Considering that you\u2019ve found inspiration in the UK alt scene\u2014who are the touchstones, and how did those influences specifically shape your sound\/style?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Eli Meyuhas<\/strong>: Radiohead is sort of our north star in terms of songwriting. The Bends <\/em>and In Rainbows <\/em>are two records we constantly return to, and we hope to approach our own sound with a similar penchant for experimentation. Zach and I initially bonded over a shared love for the 1975, and that sense of atmosphere and pure style has always lingered in how we approach music. Lately, we\u2019ve been\u00a0drawn towards artists like Wunderhorse and Fontaines D.C. Romance <\/em>has been on repeat for the better part of a year. As a guitar-driven band striving to refine our sound, we are seeking an equilibrium between stripped-back minimalism and wide, cinematic soundscapes.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cBad Man\u201d and \u201cPolitics\u201d felt bigger and brasher; \u201cSatellites\u201d is described as more stripped-down. What did you take off the table sonically to make that shift work?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Eli Meyuhas<\/strong>: We\u2019ve produced everything ourselves up to this point, and given that we had virtually no real production experience before this summer, it\u2019s been a process defined by constant trial, error, and learning opportunities. We were fortunate to cross paths with Andrew Maury, who has mixed all of our releases, and under his guidance, we\u2019ve started to refine our instincts in the studio.\u00a0<\/p>\n Before \u201cSatellites\u201d, we had a bit of a \u2018more is more\u2019 complex. We\u2019d hard double almost every part, convinced that the sheer density of sound would equate to depth and make our music more interesting. Andrew was the first to put his foot down on the Jade Street doubling epidemic, and challenged us to strip everything back and make every layer earn its place. For \u201cSatellites\u201d, we focused less on stacking and more on intention. We recorded way fewer parts, but each one distinct, deliberate, and full of character. The result felt lighter and refreshing yet somehow more dimensional, full of the shape and color we had always been striving for.\u00a0<\/p>\n How did Apple Martin come into the picture for her music debut?<\/strong><\/p>\n Zachary Zwelling<\/strong>: Apple\u2019s a good friend of mine from school, and we\u2019ve always connected over a shared love of film and music. We were grabbing coffee to talk about a short film we were both involved in, and naturally, the conversation drifted toward music. I played her a demo of an unreleased song we\u2019d been struggling to figure out, and she immediately took an interest, suggesting she try some backing vocals. That same day, feeling newly inspired, we went over to our manager Tal\u2019s house with a guitar and started experimenting. The moment she sang, it completely reframed the song, giving it a new center we were unable to reach prior. I called Zach right away, he rushed over, and within days, we were in the studio. Since then, we\u2019ve spent a lot of time trading ideas and talking about what\u2019s next. Apple\u2019s incredibly gifted, and we couldn\u2019t be more thrilled to share a record with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n What did Apple bring vocally or texturally that changed the song\u2019s center of gravity? Any moments in the booth that surprised you?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Zachary Zwelling<\/strong>: Given the delicate and atmospheric nature of \u201cSatellites\u201d, which contrasts a lot of our more grounded and energetic material, Apple\u2019s vocals completely shifted the song\u2019s gravity. Her tone brought this dreamlike weightlessness that we\u2019d been missing. Having a female voice in that space opened it up, giving the track an expansiveness and emotional depth it had always been reaching for. Apple\u2019s voice is fascinating in how it bridges two extremes. She has this resonant, lower register that grounds the song, but she moves into a falsetto with so much ease that it almost blurs the boundary between the two. That duality added a texture we couldn\u2019t have achieved otherwise.\u00a0<\/p>\n We didn\u2019t have much studio time, and Apple was understandably nervous at first. But the moment she settled in, everything just clicked. Watching her find her footing and then completely own the performance was incredible, both as friends and as musicians. We couldn\u2019t be happier with how it turned out.\u00a0<\/p>\n As a new indie act, what\u2019s been the biggest win\u2014and the toughest hurdle\u2014so far?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Zachary Zwelling<\/strong>: Our biggest win so far has been witnessing the music start to find its audience. There\u2019s a quiet kind of satisfaction in seeing people not only listen but engage\u2014to watch something that began as an internal concept between the two of us evolve into a shared experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n The greater challenge has been constructing the entire framework ourselves. We\u2019ve had to become fluent in every dimension of what we do\u2014from songwriting and production to visual direction and the logistics that hold it all together. It\u2019s a lot to shoulder, but it\u2019s also forced us to develop a real discipline. From the beginning, it was just the two of us, guided more by instinct than infrastructure, and now we\u2019ve built a small but exceptional team around that vision, which we couldn\u2019t be more grateful for. We\u2019re intent on doing things properly and immersing ourselves in the slow work of building something with integrity and longevity.\u00a0<\/p>\n What\u2019s next in the pipeline: left-turn experiments, or a refinement of the lane you\u2019re already carving?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Eli Meyuhas<\/strong>: We\u2019re hoping to release our debut EP at the top of the year. Right now, we\u2019re in the thick of refining our sound\u2014pulling things apart and rebuilding them with more intention. The longer view is the first album, of course, but for now, we\u2019re using every session as an internal investigation of our sonic identity. We\u2019ve been playing a lot, and plan to play even more. We\u2019ve found that being on stage is probably the most honest testing ground there is. As for what\u2019s next, we\u2019re less interested in reinvention for its own sake than in deepening and expanding upon what already feels true to us. The goal is to keep evolving without losing the thread.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source thestardustmag.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You formed Jade Street in May 2025 and moved fast with two singles\u2014what clicked between you that made this partnership feel organic?\u00a0 Zachary Zwelling: At its core, Jade Street works because we share an almost obsessive sense of drive.
