Peaceful and calm, Jack brings a sense of slightness and enthusiasm towards a climate in need of healing. About the only thing I understand in this world is how to take a photo and what exceptional feelings put into a song look like and this album holds you tight and keeps you alright. It’s easily one of the best albums I’ve heard all year and I’ve heard a lot of music. While a lot of people would peg this album on the early 90’s spectrum of Rock and Roll I think Jack is tapping into the unique properties that made it popular in the first place. This album takes you on a journey from the start to the finish leaving you wondering when he’s going to come out with another album because this one is so good. In a sense, it combines elements of early 90’s rock and late 2010’s rock. The Airborne Toxic Event and Shinedown come to mind for a song like After Dark while influences from Soundgarden and Nirvana are obvious throughout given that Jack Endino did the mastering (wonderful job Endino). If you listen to the chords and the strumming, it says a lot about who Jack is as a person and the harmony he is trying to bring with his tone. If I had to sum up this album in a few words it would be giving warmth to the background but pulling you closer, like a lovely fire burning on a cold winter’s night in a cabin keeping everyone warm. I am glad music like this still exists, music like this got me through a lot of hard times and still does. Jack manages to expertly produce cold tones to warm textures and the tones don’t just shine bright, they spread light as well and let me tell you Jack that your understanding of space like this in music is a rarity, it is rare for music to have volume in space as a form of structure you can live in and inhabit. Love your work man, spread light Jack, spread light.

As always, thanks to my friends at Earshot Media and DC-Jam Records for pointing me towards this record, it’s been out for a few weeks so check it out!
