JACKSON AND HIS COMPUTER BAND – DEAD LIVING THINGS
2013-09-09Parisian producer Jackson Fourgeaud is best known for two things: ’80s pop singer mother Paula Moore and his glitchy 2005 LP ‘Smash’ as Jackson and his Computerband. ‘Glow’ sees him return with an equally vigorous new outing. It’s an album full of melodies deployed with hard edges and a maverick spirit – a chorus that reaches for the sky and gets you in the gut on ‘G. I. Jane (Fill Me Up)’, whirling College-like synths on ‘Vista’ and eerie, otherworldly dark slabs on ‘Dead Living Things’.
