Blue Desert (Vinyl LP)

If "melancholy dub-funk, jangling psychedelia, moon-burnt sophisti-pop and stained glass folk mutations" sound like a bit of you, look no further than the new album from Australia-via-Vancouver songwriter Jack J. A lushly lovely follow-up LP, Blue Desert comes complete with a touch of the softer side of Arthur Russell, bubbling beats, and a wee bit of sultry sax for good measure. Check out singles Foolish Man and Wrong Again, and you'll be hooked. - Flying Out

Just a little over two years since the release of his debut album Opening the Door, Jack re-emgerges with a new full length album. On Blue Desert, the Australian-born Vancouver-based multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and producer wades deeper into the stylistically prismatic pool of his own creation: melancholy dub-funk, jangling psychedelia, moon-burnt sophisti-pop and stained glass folk mutations float freely together.

Entirely self-produced at Mood Hut Studios in Chinatown, Vancouver between 2022 and 2024, the album picks up where Opening the Door left off; the songwriting concise and refined, the voice front and centre on almost every song, the pensive mood irresistible and dense.
