Gerry,

It’s 1:40 am on an eerie Dublin night. You’re three (bottles of) wine in after being told your friend is gone. What can you do besides press record. The original guitar and vocal from this (life) event is heard here. The mood wasn’t going to be recreated. It’s rustic, raw, and really just a simple tribute to a great friend.

From the album...
Jethro Pickett returns with his 2nd album, co produced and recorded with multiple ARIA award winning producer Shane O’Mara, at his Yikesville studio in Melbourne’s inner west.
France is a dark, spacial odyssey, bathed in the warmth of vintage synths, guitars, and honest storytelling, effortlessly combining melodic folk, indie rock, and moments of psychedelic pop. It aims to be a companion for the listener on what can be a lonely journey through modern life.
France will be released in late March 2018, via Phill Calvert's Behind the Beat Records.

Thank You Where Did You Go?

A punishing pop conversation with one’s self. Our narrator plays all parts and seemingly gets nowhere. But with time some lessons might be learnt. The harmonies and the beat will lift you, the movement will satisfy.

I Just Want To Know,

It’s deep, a late night love song, an overwhelming moment of awakening. Once again the Rhythm Ace sets the mood followed by a sympathetic band. It starts sparse and ends in a lush timbre of classic indulgent soundscape. Beautiful.

Lorelei,

On the banks of the Rhine lies a haunting seductress, metaphoric in this case, but a powerful and personal experience took its toll on a weary band as they performed around Germany. The synths intend to evoke the mood of a Berlin club as Svengosa takes the wheels of steel with cigarette ash falling all over the disks. It felt so good.

France,

What happened there? Did he? Can you laugh at yourself when you realise all your fears may not have come true? The flight of guitars, the darkest of keys. Ultimate paranoia meets loneliness, but it’s ok now. You’re still here, alive and there is comfort in sharing these things. Recorded over six weeks in a London bedroom, maybe the problem was too much time alone.

Everything...

...will be alright. In an attempt to be comforting, the fact remains that the answer can’t be provided from someone else. Look within. If you can’t get there yet, let the 60’s shuffle look after you. From a dirty baritone guitar, to a happening Wurlitzer, it is all going to be ok.

An Introduction

An Introduction_Jethro_Pickett

Like Peace Or Like Trauma,

It is innocence meets terror. Beauty faced with the ultimate unfairness. Optimistically and sonically. Peace and the good will of all are wished upon thee, but not before a glimpse into the terrifying fuzz soaked fires of uncertainty.

Gene,

A character that by all accounts was a picture perfect, mirror image of the late (Wonka era) Gene Wilder. They shared the same genius, the same face, only one was fictional and one (we’re assured) isn’t. The feel of skipping delirium is setup by the smooth groove of a 1973 Rhythm Ace drum machine before the band guides the listener to the possibilities of a determined imagination.
