Song Review/ Alt Folk : Grey Jacks’ ‘With Who’
Grey Jacks is a singer-songwriter and an alt folk artist. His style is a mellow criss-crossing of familiar tones and textures in a way that crafts emotion, ambience, and thematic presence. It’s such a new and fresh way of viewing song design. His latest release is ‘With Who’, an autobiographical storytelling that forms like a musical collage. With chunky raw folk acoustics blended with disco pop synths, neoclassicals, and an overarching theatrical allure.
As you listen, you feel like you’re travelling through layers of the feeling. The vocals travel through this with simplicity that is instantly pleasing. Memories and emotions have so many dimensions and mutations to them. And this track seems to piece it all together, the rustic, raw, vulnerable, with a more fun, colorful, and festive atmosphere.
