Did You Buy the Jack Name LP?

January 22, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

There were tons of releases this week, whether you wanted orchestrally-aligned pop like Belle and Sebastian or something along the psych vein, like Amen Dunes. But, I hope you looked into picking up the Jack Name album, as it’s one of the more diverse listens we’re likely to hear all year (I know that’s bold considering it’s January). There are marks of various influences from glam to funk and beyond, so why not take another listen to the latest single from the album. Be sure to pick up Weird Moons from Castle Face today!

Jack Name Readies New LP

November 4, 2014 nathan.lankford

Jack Name has worked with a lot of your favorite heroes, and in doing so, he’s built a following all his own. His music’s something of an outlier, at least upon the first listen to his new song. There’s a synthesized beat that serves as the backbone, while the darkness of his vocals is so enchanting that I can’t pull myself away from it. He’s also got the approval of John Dwyer, who he’ll be touring with (including this week’s Austin date at Hotel Vegas); Dwyer will also be releasing Jack’s Weird Moons LP on his Castle Face imprint in January of next year.

New Music from Jack Name

January 13, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

We feel like kicking things off on Monday should start with a little bit of introspection, but a whole lot of grit, providing you with some energy to jump into the week with just the right amount of spirit; I think this jam from Jack Name will do just the trick. It’s a lo-fi sort of affair, with sharp distorted guitars cutting in and out of the track. You’ll find low-end vocals beneath the front of the mix, possibly hearing a bit of Frank Black affectation. The project will be releasing Light Show on January 28th via God? Records, followed by a show that lands the band in Austin on February 8th.
