Jack Xander Releases Therapy Whistle

Jack Xander has release his newest track - Therapy Whistle. It is his second release to date as the young Californian continues to grow in confidence musically. Be sure to watch out for him.

Jack Xander’s music is strangely addictive. His ability to piece together mis-matched melodies make his songs incredibly intriguing and engaging throughout. New release Therapy Whistle is no different in that regard, however it seems that he has taken his songwriting up another notch.

What’s most impressive about Therapy Whistle, is that it sounds like it’s come from someone with real musical maturity, such as his influences Metronomy, Alex Cameron and even a tinge of Nick Cave, yet it was self-produced by the young artist. This DIY recording really retains the personality that went into the song.

The lyrics invite the listener in with oddly descriptive scenarios that build an immersive experience. This story retells a memory from Xander’s early school life, where he encountered many flamboyant characters in his high school jazz band. He recounts a field trip to Disneyland underscored by rising tensions and jealousy between himself and the central character, Johnny, a cocky bass-playing stoner with a love for Elvis.

The music video that accompanies this release was shot at Coney Island amusement park in New York during his first East Coast tour. Director Mario Dante wanted to capture the feeling of stale Americana that the song channels.
