Details:
Jon Auer (The Posies singer, songwriter and guitar player) and Joe Skyward (Posies bassist) surprises us with this project, a side project of the best power pop band on earth: Posies. But in this case Posies's pop music wasn't the mainly style. Jean Jacket Shotgun is a different bet, full of funky, grooves and adrenaline. Four tracks and an amplifier, a bass and a drum were enough to recreate the band sound. The idea of this project is "building" rather than composing songs. First they started to record with a four track, then 16 and finally 24. Without knowing what were they really looking for, only smoking and improvising, they created a new project that by the moment gave us an impeccable album: "Collides Again", addressed to all those people who are true music lovers. Jean Jacket Shotgun isn't going to make them feel disappointed. From the funky "Gimme gimme", "Happy Sapp" and "Kissing You" to the rockin' "Jason's Finn, "Lefty" and "Train Wreck"...Jon and Joe both show that there is much more to their musical backgrounds and foregrounds than one might hear from their musings with The Posies. All together the cd contains ten songs, half of which are instrumental, balancing out the songs with vocals to make a very cool listen!
