C$34.99
Availability: Out of stock

Vancouver’s Jack J (Pender Street Steppers) channels Arthur Russell and Ned Doheny on his long-awaited return to solo mode with a suite of yacht-ready groovers. ‘Opening the Door’ is Jack’s first dolo shot since 2015 and sees him ditch the deep house to scroll perpendicular thru the mists of time toward a smeared Rayban-lens perspective on yacht boogie and balmy disco burnished with his own vocals. Nice and easy does it for all eight tracks, encompassing his brief between the strolling, folksy disco lilt of ‘If You Don’t Know Why’ and three Caipirinha-high bop of ‘Opening The Door’ thru to the VHS-hazy jazzbient reminiscence of ‘Closing The Door’, taking in the clipped disco of ‘The Only Way’, an AOR pearl ‘Only You Know Why’, an the airport reggae of ‘Clues’ in his linen-clad stride.
