Just for
the record, there are two Andy Jacksons.
The older
one is a recording engineer best known for his work with Pink Floyd, but who
also has produced some solo work that reminds me of Pink Floyd. The songs on Signal
to Noise are moody, if not quite dark, and carry a weight to them where I
can suddenly hear where Pink Floyd might have been among the inspirations for
sludge,
I feel
pretty confident that the Andy Jackson that James Dewees recommended is the
younger one, who has sung for Hot Rod Circuit and has a solo project called
Death in the Park. I suspect this based on James Dewees following him and Hot
Rod Circuit having toured with The Get Up Kids. (You can get things past me,
but not indefinitely.)
Unsurprisingly,
Death in the Park is more to my taste, with its earnest aching and more melodic
delivery. It is certainly closer to danceable.
I
particularly liked "Sway", one of the faster offerings, but Jackson's
team-up with Paramore's Hayley Williams, "Fallen", may leave the
strongest impression. The way it lingers in the mind makes it a solid choice
for closing out the EP.
I was not
able to find any links dedicated to Death in the Park, but there is sometimes
information on Andy Jackson (the younger one's) Twitter.
