So Wound is the second (and last) album by the Halifax (Nova Scotia) rock band Jale, released in 1996 on Sub Pop Records.[5] A consciously more power-pop album than its predecessor, Dreamcake, So Wound received critical praise but failed to make significant radio impact.

Critical reception

Ira Robbins, in Trouser Press, wrote: "Appreciably elevating the band’s skill and confidence levels from indie pop cuteness to real contention (while upholding the lyrical fortitude), the album is a taut, purposeful marvel of great pop songs in a number of cohesively connected modes."[6]
