It's definitely snippets. It's out of context of course but some sound weird and some sound great with a wide range of styles

One and done on this too. What a beautiful and intriguing video, but I’m done until the album is in my hands. I’m not getting burnt out on another Jack project vis-à-vis Dodge and Burn. It flowed, it was heavy, it was sweet, it was twangy and all around strange.
High hopes.

I dig this. Like, a lot. It feels new, for the most part. I can't wait for this album.

I was listening to it through head-phones at work, and the "beck-ish" noise spots got me froze. That said, the actual music spots were kinda cool.

Very cool indeed.
Which of these sounds like a single to you? The track at 1.40 sounds most likely to me.

Super diverse sound but it also sounds like it might have a lot of tracks. Maybe a double LP?
