The Jackets | Be Myself | (Voodoo Rhythm) 2017

The Jackets – ’Be Myself’ / ‘Queen Of The Pill’ (Voodoo Rhythm Records VR725) June 2017

The Jackets | Be Myself | (Voodoo Rhythm) 2017 | There are two kinds of bands – one that sets out to make you think, and the other that makes you think less and have a good time. The Jackets make you think and have a great time!

Fronted by the crazed, mime-like garage superhero Jack Torrera, this wild high energy trio specializes in creating garage anthems.

Carried by buzzing fuzz and frantic drumming, “Be Myself” captures the true spirit and sound of The Jackets on vinyl – amped up and wild – highly controlled yet with the feeling of being barely in control.

Flip this double-sider over for “Queen Of The Pill” which shows off the Jackets’ quirky side – starting with a thunder and quickly moving into a sort of beatish hand clapping passage and then quickly into freakbeatish territory vaguely reminiscent of some of the more unique ’60s Dutch beat tunes – it is inventive, and distinctive and over way too soon.
