Paul Jacks NEW full length LP "Amphibious" Release 03/03/2023
Get ready for Jacks’ fourth studio album, Amphibious, in which he shifts direction from the New Wave vibes of In Other Words and the dystopian world of Black Jackal, and embraces a full pop sound with electric and acoustic guitars. “There are themes of survival, adaptation, growth, and awareness throughout the album.” Enter Alex Newport, the esteemed British-born, L.A.-based producer-composer who has worked with groups like Death Cab for Cutie, Bloc Party, Mars Volta, At the Drive In, Matt Costa, and The Sounds. With Newport taking over heavy-lifting duties as producer, Jacks focuses on writing and the results reflect his expansive, eclectic tastes. Production on Amphibious lasted from mid-June to mid-July 2022; in addition to Newport on bass, the Amphibious team included Jason Searle and Leo Abrahams on additional guitars; Dylan Mandel on drums; and Alexis Mahler on strings. Jacks’ and Newport’s exacting work extended to vocals, leading to a soft and lulling approach which suggests what might have happened if Phil Spector had had the chance to work with Joy Division.
