It Starts With a Birthstone - 200 Albums for 2024 # 84 Jack Name - Fabulous Soundtracks

 



Fabulous Soundtracks, the latest record from Jack Name a moonlighting venture from sometime White Fence musician. Ghostly Seance Psych.. OK I just made that up. But I imagine you catch my drift.

Sounding like someone has revivified Lee Hazlewood, Gomez Adams, Lux Interior and Bela Lugosi, kept them up all night and got them intoxicated on inadvisable cocktails  before driving them down to a recording studion with Jack Nitzcshe propped behind the mixing desk.

More fun and less comprehensible than The Master & Margarita or Night of the Hunter on acid. Fabulous Soundtracks may be the weirdest record that's come floating down the pike this week but its also probably the most delightful.Fans of Broadcast, Pram and Johnny Depp form an orderly queue. 

Some of the best dark songs you're likely to hear in 2024. The result is a disorientating but delightfully skewed record that never for a moment pretends to play to the rules. This is so good it makes you wonder why anyone ever bothers.
