This new album we are making is probably going to be heavy or heavier the least. If JAC was rock-driven electronica, this album is gonna be more like the Doors meet DJ Shadow (or even AC/DC meet LCD Soundsystem). Working titles for some of the new tracks: “Free Falling”, “Be The Devil”, “I’m Pregnant”, “Not The Kindest Person”, “I Know You Well”. We’ll keep you posted about the progress of that.

We’ve also just completed a song for Dimitra Galani’s new conceptual album, a reconstruction-kind-of project of an older tune (“Tipota”) that proved quite interesting and creative. We tried to actually make a new song out of an old one and I think we did.

In the meantime, last week we made a video (more…)
