Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Jackie O Motherfucker make the kind of emotionally developed experimental music half of the so called "post-rock" crowd can only dream about. Creating layers of sound often dominated by Jef Brown's saxophone, at times Change sounds like a free-form jazz version of Godspeed You Black Emperor. But there is much more here. While Brown places crescendos of fluttering saxophones above scratchy violins and electronic samples on tracks such as "777", cofounder Tom Greenwood is one minute teasing gentle harmonics from his guitar above country twanged vocals ("Everyday") and the next throwing out Velvet Underground-esque guitar hooks above reversed beats ("Sun Ray Harvester"). And if that isn't enough of a pointer, check out the beat poetry sample on "7" or just listen to the drunken bluesy slurs on "Bus Stop". Change is an album steeped in a multitude of Americana influences. As a result Jackie O manage to side step the formulaic nature of much post-rock quite nicely. Let's hope others take note. --Caroline Butler

4.0 out of 5 stars Freeform Rock Rocks, 27 Feb 2003
Once it would have been hard to place an album like 'Change', but nowadays it's easy - if you listen to Godspeed! or Silver Mt. Zion or Hayden or the godfathers of the genre Pavement, then you'll know exactly what this album is about. It's about musicianship, the compositional variety not the Spinal Tap-esque foot-on-the-sustain pedal kind prevalent in rock - it's about experimentation with song, voice and rock ensemble. It's sometimes confused with Lo-Fi, because of the seeming makeshift and one-man-bandship of the stuff, but it's rich with production (this album especially, as it was produced from remote recording by band members geographically isolated from each other).

'Change' is less direct emotionally than Godspeed! and their divergent cohorts - it wanders, wayward and Mingus-esque - more akin with their fellow American citizens Pavement, there's assonance and distortion and ambience and cumulative effect. It's druggy in its continuance, where the Canadians are symphonic and expansive. Yet, you have to allow for the experiment of having a cross-country jam session, seeing this album as a layering of reaction to reactions helps appreciate the 'openness' of the sound. It owes a debt to free jazz, sorry, but it does. It's reminds me of Jan Gaberek's reactions to landscape in Dis, but more complicated by numbers. A worthwhile addition to an discerning CD rack.
