The Ceiling (album)

The album was first announced the album in November 2018 coinciding with the release of their lead-off single, "Driving at Night".^[4] Then, the album was announced to be released on 9 April 2019,^[5] although that changed to 5 April at a later date.

On 30 January 2019, Jaws released the second single, "Do You Remember?"^[6] When describing the track, Connor Schofield said, "This song is a self observation of my social anxiety, and how I always compare ourselves to others when I should be working out how to be more comfortable in my own skin. Musically I think I’ve managed to merge my love for bands like The Cure and bands like Title Fight quite well on this one and its definitely one of my favourites on the record that I'm very much looking forward to playing live."^[3][6] Clash magazine described the track as "songwriting it nails that breezy '93 sound but adds a dense wall of noise, erring towards the Swervedriver wing of shoegaze".^[2]

The band's third single, "Fear" was released on 28 February 2019.^[7] In an interview with Dork Schofield said the track pushed the band out of their comfort zone. Schofield specifically said, "it was sort of the wake up call that we could take this record in any direction we want and still be confident with it. I think it might be my favourite song that we've ever put together, not only musically but for how it opened the door to write the rest of the record. The song is about fight or flight, trying to live via love rather than fear."^[8]
