Sarah Jaffe (born January 29, 1986) is a singer-songwriter from Denton, Texas.
Jaffe self-released her first EP titled Even Born Again, which was recognized by Rolling Stone and the Dallas Observer. In late 2009, she was signed to Kirtland Records and released her first full-length album, Suburban Nature, in May 2010. She has previously toured with Lou Barlow, Norah Jones and Denton band, Midlake and tours with Old 97's and Centro-matic.
In 2011, she released The Way Sound Leaves a Room, which was touted as an EP that included a DVD of her performance at Wyly Theatre in Los Angeles that February. This release included a cover of a Drake song: "Shut it Down". It was with this release that she started moving away from an acoustic "Folk" sound to a more orchestral "Indie-Rock" sound, but it was only a hint at what was to come.
In 2012, she opened on the New Multitudes Tour. On April 21st, she dropped her latest LP: The Body Wins. This record, produced by John Congleton, offers a wall of sound in comparison to past work. Keyboardist Scott Danbom is more present and Becki Howard's violin has a bigger sound. The use of electronic drums and horns are also present on some tracks.
