Having established himself as a guitar slinging matinee idol fronting Welsh riot starters Trampolene and riding shotgun in Peter Dohertys band the Puta Madres, Jack Jones releases his debut solo album Jack Jones. For this album Jack Jones has put away his guitar and embraced a fresh and highly contemporary sound in which to couch his hard-hitting state of the nation poems of existential fear and loathing. His lyrics tackle many of todays burning issues: mental health, drug addiction, mortality, and the tortuous demands of technology. Theres also joy and hope in there. With some of his catchiest tunes so far, its a record thatll both open up this natural-born star to untapped audiences, and reveal hidden depths to those already on the team. Much like the first Specials album at the turn of the 1980s, you can imagine Jack Jones being useful to youngsters in 2024 trying to navigate the problems of today swap birth control and street violence for mindless hedonism and mental-health struggles, and you have an equally bold and connective roadmap to the pitfalls of contemporary young-adult living.
