Chris Jack Estrena “Miles To Go” Sencillo Principal De Su Nuevo Álbum Del Mismo Nombre

Mark E. Smith dijo una vez: “The Fall somos yo y tu abuela en bongos” (o algo por el estilo). Chris Jack ha experimentado numerosos cambios de miembros y ha dirigido The Routes durante 14 años.

Los álbumes “In This Perfect Hell” y “Dirty Needles and Pins” podrían haber sido clasificados como álbumes en solitario, donde la “banda” era solo Chris y el baterista Jonathan Hillhouse.

En el último álbum de Routes, “Tune Out, Switch Off, Drop-In”, Chris se unió al baterista inglés y viejo amigo Bryan Styles (con quien tocó brevemente en una banda de post-rock a los 18 años). Mientras trabajaba en el álbum, Chris estaba jugando con algunas ideas de canciones acústicas. Envió grabaciones de demostración a algunos amigos. Action Weekend Records dijo “¡Hagamos un álbum!”, Bryan entró en la batería, la percusión y el glockenspiel y nació “Miles To Go”.

¿Qué? ¿¡Sin pelusa !? ¡Así es! Atrás quedaron las voces mocosas y las guitarras fuzz. Aquí no hay garaje. Las composiciones acústicas de Chris Jacks están acompañadas de órgano, Rhodes, melodeón, vibráfono y más. Aunque autograbado, el silbido y el zumbido desaparecieron.

La producción es exuberante, suena como el trabajo de Steve Albini con Low. Aunque Chris cita sus influencias en este álbum como música de los 80/90 como Felt, Silver Jew, Guided By Voices, Galaxie 500, Smog, Beck y Sebadoh; puedes escuchar elementos de Velvet Underground, Lemon Drops y muchos más.
