In case you didn't know (and you more than likely didn't) Jack Allett is Spoono, who you may have heard of after previous releases on GPS and Blackest Rainbow. He's one of those man and guitar types who makes really intense ragas for you to get wasted to. I'm not sure why he's no longer Spoono and now Jack Allett but I guess that's not too important right now. if you were a fan of Spoono then you'll like this. It's great! Lots of whooshy psychedelic noises in the background over some really intense guitar plucking. 'Place, Memory And forgetting' is the really intense 21 minute track which will leave you mentally and physically exhausted afterwards. A couple of the tracks seem to borrow from the Towering Breaker project he did with Ben Knight from Helhesten. They're a bit more spacey and weird. The album ends with the jaunty upbeat 'Keep Crossing That Bridge And Never Tire' which is about as upbeat and positive as this kind of music gets. It's a really strong album which I think will get better on subsequent listens 'n all. Excellent!
Debut full length vinyl release from Jack Allett, formerly known as Spoono, who previously had a CDR on Blackest Rainbow followed by a split LP with Cam Deas, and a 7" on The Great Pop Supplement. Jack also plays with Ben Knight (Helhesten) in the duo Towering Breaker. This debut waxer is a fine introduction to one of the UK's most interesting solo guitarists. Jack blends sublime finger picking with swirling drones and psychedelic static to create a sound that is very much his own. A must for fans of acoustic guitar music from the past few years, Jack could well be one of the most interesting players there is at the moment. Vinyl edition is housed in a full colour pro printed sleeve and is pressed on heavyweight black virgin vinyl and also comes with a CD copy.
