As written on Jackslacks website,”Good old fashioned, no-holds-barred American music.” That’s the feel when you hear the upbeat rockabilly songs that possess just a touch of surf rock and southern guitar twang. Finding this type of music in the days of constant bombardment of mediocre pop songs comes with difficulty.
This new EP from Jackslacks called “Invisible” controls powerful seemingly cheerful yet morbid guitar riffs and prose of one’s own finite adventure through life as a human being. This new 3 song EP includes not only includes Jackslacks (artist and driving force behind these songs) but a large combination of San Diego Jazzies: Seattle-based guitarist Johnny Mercury, and exbandmates all named Bill (Giorgio, Bacon, and Grubbs).
The song “Invisible,” imagines a 50-60’s diner with a jukebox playing tunes that have deep meaning rather than just rhymy hound dog lyrics. It doesn’t represent the vibe of the Fonz, but rather a deep understanding of mortality and consciousness that pairs righteously with your vanilla milkshake with borboun. It’s fun, yet real.
