A folk band? Americana? Rock? What the fuck are you gonna say now?! laughs Jake. With this album, I wanted something outside of what Ive ever done. I wanted to open up. Do something dangerous. Im hard to put into a singular genre as it is, but now I really wanted to take away any kind of preconception or pigeon-holing.And dont ask me, cos I dont know what it is! Its a genre-bending thing theres elements and influences from ELO, Daniel Lanois, Tom Waits, The Boss, circus, pirate music, yacht rock, and Im driving and pushing some of these numbers in a way Ive never done before.At the top of the pandemic, I put the acoustic guitar on its stand, got a synthesizer and began writing on it, not really knowing how to play keys, just exploring the different sounds and landscapes. In the not knowing, it allowed me to expand my vocal melodies and compositions in ways the guitar had possibly limited.
