Jack Allsopp’s latest effort, Overtones, is definitely worth a listen. One of the best albums of the year…hands down.
2007 sophomore album from Jack Allsopp AKA Just Jack. 12 tracks that bristle with razor-sharp lyrics, shimmering melodies and incandescent beats which sees him take the sum of his individual influences and turn them into this unique, genre-hopping, jump-up album, including the singles ‘Writer’s Block’ & ‘Starz In Their Eyes’.
Definitely a little different. Sort of a mixed, but likable, sound influenced by hip-hop, disco, electronic, and who knows what else. I also dig the accent and English subtleties in language. Just Jack’s first album was what got me hooked. I first heard Snowflakes (Cured by Temple of Jay remix) on Morning Becomes Eclectic a long time ago, bought the album The Outer Marker, and have been hooked ever since. Anyhow, check out both albums, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed…

Welcome to The Forest of Sound…where I let you know about the “trees” I’ve heard drop and feel are worth (or maybe even absolutely not worth) a listen.
