'''''So Wound''''' is the second (and last) album by the [Halifax](/source/Halifax_Urban_Area) ([Nova Scotia](/source/Nova_Scotia)) rock band [Jale](/source/Jale_(band)), released in 1996 on [Sub Pop Records](/source/Sub_Pop_Records).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.austinchronicle.com/music/1996-07-12/532293/|title=Jale|website=www.austinchronicle.com|access-date=2020-07-14|archive-date=2020-07-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200714195212/https://www.austinchronicle.com/music/1996-07-12/532293/|url-status=live}}</ref> A consciously more power-pop album than its predecessor, ''[Dreamcake](/source/Dreamcake)'', ''So Wound'' received critical praise but failed to make significant radio impact.

Shortly after the release of ''So Wound'', the band split up.

==Critical reception==
Ira Robbins, in ''[Trouser Press](/source/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."<ref>{{cite web |title=Jale |url=https://trouserpress.com/reviews/jale/ |website=Trouser Press |accessdate=14 July 2020 |archive-date=16 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200716193849/https://trouserpress.com/reviews/jale/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
