Jack J ‎– Opening The Door LP

Description

Pender Street Steppers’ Jack J departs from his branded and perfected hazy house sound in favor of a diverse and introspective work of melancholic ambient jazz, digi-dub, and yacht-ready indie rock groovers. Recommended!

Self-recorded slowly but surely between 2015 and 2019 between Mood Hut and C’est Life Studios, and featuring some crucial saxophone work by Linda Fox, this LP confirms Jack J to be a masterful mood maker as well as an incisive songwriter. Over the course of the album an undeniably blue haze settles over inward-peering ambient jazz, On-U-inspired digital-dub and quiet storm soft rock leaving a distinct sense of sadness amongst all the tangerine funk.
