Superjack - Superjack

 

"What’s that? You say you like weird music? Well, you should check out the self-titled Superjack! LP. It’s a weird one! Power electronics is such an elemental form (someone yelling over noise) that I always want to say that anything combining vocals and noise is just that, and the Superjack! LP is no exception. You know, like Whitehouse, but instead of screaming a bunch of abusive shit they’re muttering weird lines about electric guitars, space travel, the glories of cannabis, or just the saliva on the microphone. Sample lyrics: “Oh my god, but not my god. Oh your god, but not your god.” “I can’t even think/I can’t even tell/If this is heaven, earth, or hell/Which is just as well.” “Capacities/bring me to life/miraculous marijuana!/end all the strife!!” It’s like a weird dream where the eccentric reclusive local poet finally agrees to do a public reading at the local coffee shop, but the P.A. system is so rife with technical difficulties it all comes out as a horrible disaster, and, doubling down on the dream logic, the poet goes ahead and reads for 45 minutes anyway while electronic garbage noise swirls and screams around him and the audience of three plugs their ears and eventually dwindles to zero. (“Tuning Notes” by Thinking Fellers Local Union 282 applies the same dream logic to a guitar lesson.)" - Blastitude Substack
