Despistado signaled the promise of a return to form for Jade Tree. The band released this ep and entered the studio to record their follow up only to break up before it even got released. That album can be downloaded on itunes and the JT site. Despistado doesn't have a unique sound - they are part emo and part punk - but unlike many other emo bands of late, they were able to combine the two in an exciting way. The fact that this is an ep also helps sell the listener on this - meeting someone for half an hour can be a lot better than spending the day with them.
