Jackson Jackson: Canaries singing through the gas.
Harry Angus is co-lead vocalist and trumpeter from The Cat Empire, a 6-piece from Melbourne who, any fortunate enough to witness live would agree, have some seriously elite musical abilities. Harry is also ½ of Jackson Jackson along with fellow musical explorer, Jan Skubiszewski. A very, very different affair from TCE, Jackson Jackson fuse their big, fat, bass-blown electrobeats with latin grooves, nutty percussion, the deepest blues and a good helping of Aussie hip-hop. Their 2007 debut, The Fire is on the Bird, is an awe-inspiring glimpse of the distant future. A proper concept album, I consider The Fire is on the Bird to be a loose re-interpretation of H.G. Wells' classic, The Time Machine featuring a race of bass-sensitive proto-humans that emerge from a massive hole dug by Harry in his garden... Fuck yeah.
The new single is called All Alone, the album is called Tools for Survival and will be released on October 11. It appears to be another concept album, this time exploring love; the only thing left after an apocalypse brought about by hordes of angry, bi-pedal subterranean beasts.
