Jack River Reveals New Single ‘Ballroom’ With Video + Touring Next Month – Perth, Melbourne & Sydney Shows Sold Out

by the partae
written by the partae

I OH YOU are thrilled to reveal the next instalment from one of Australia’s most exciting artists; we present to you ‘Ballroom’ – the electrifying new single from Jack River. Premiering overnight on triple j Good Nights, the constant beat is what first draws the listener into ‘Ballroom’. An electric sense of steadfast determination exists within the track, carrying on that raw beauty that continues to remind us that Jack River is a musical force to be reckoned with in the alt-pop landscape.

In the midst of its gritty pop height, ‘Ballroom’ is a love song, but not just in the traditional romantic sense; listen a little deeper, there is a depth propelling the dream. It’s a last chance, now or never kind of track, dedicated to the doubters and those that want to see you falter.

“From the very beginning, I staged ‘Ballroom’ in an arena in my head and built in a beating, constant heartbeat throughout that felt like my own. The song is built of that untouchable determination that drives through your blood when you want something so bad, nothing can stop you.” – Jack River

Produced by Jack River and Xavier Dunn, and mixed by Spike Stent in LA, ‘Ballroom’ follows on from previous singles ‘Fool’s Gold’ and ‘Fault Line’ which have collectively amassed over 3.1 million streams. ‘Ballroom’ is accompanied by a stunning clip, for which Jack River again enlisted co-direction from Matt Sav (‘Fault Line’ and ‘Fool’s Gold’).

Jack River describes the clip, “Matt and I wanted to depict a timeless ballroom scene where people are doing exactly what they want. We wanted the characters to have a brilliance and an elegance to their freedom and see them suspended in a midnight moment.”

Jack River will be bringing her shimmering world to fans nationally in March with a string of shows on the Fault Line Tour. Playing some of her biggest headline venues to date, punters can expect an experience that is filled with vibrant electricity, a place for leaving inhibitions at the door and dancing into the dream. With Perth, Melbourne and Sydney shows sold out, fans for other shows are urged to get their tickets now to avoid disappointment.

REVEALS NEW SINGLE & VIDEO FOR “FOOL’S GOLD”

by the partae
written by the partae
It is with great pleasure and excitement that I OH YOU reveals Jack River‘s brand new single “Fool’s Gold.” Premiering overnight via Linda Marigliano’s Good Nights on triple j, “Fool’s Gold” carries Jack River into fresh alt-pop territory, unwavering in the glitter and sparkle her sound has become renowned for.
Born on a lonely walk through the streets of New York, “Fool’s Gold” pays homage to the sounds of the early 2000’s and the likes of Weezer, Tame Impala and MGMT.  Written in New York by Jack River, produced in Sydney by Jack River and Xavier Dunn and mixed by Spike Stent (CHVRCHES, Frank Ocean, DMA’S, Spice Girls) the track takes the listener on a seemingly familiar journey:
“I was alone in New York, chasing shiny things. The verses were spinning around my head. I was annoyed at myself for falling for the same things over again without them giving back. But I also knew how human it was to feel like that, and how I’d probably come up against this feeling again and again. I wanted to write a song for that emotion – the relentless humanity in thinking something is gold when it just isn’t. The hope and sadness and repetition, but the sweetness of truth once you find it. It’s also kind of about realising that your fool’s gold is often someone else’s gold and feeling momentarily lonely, but okay with it.” – explains Jack River.
The track is accompanied by a dreamy video directed by Matt Sav (Tame Impala, POND) and Jack River. Shot in Perth the clip features various characters that depict the numerous fragments of emotion within the song.
“Matt and I wanted to illuminate the lyrics in surreal ways. With the aesthetic we wanted to pay homage to the musical production – shifting between super grainy and highly produced tones. Aside from the deliberately apparent scenes with the couple, there is a constant line of surrealism between the subject and what they want. Matt nailed that elusive line of thought between the songwriter and director.” – Jack River explains.
“Fool’s Gold” follows Jack River’s debut EP Highway Songs No. 2 which thrust Jack River into public consciousness in October 2016 and featured favorites “Palo Alto” and “Talk Like That.”
As if releasing an EP and writing an album wasn’t enough, Holly Rankin (aka Jack River), is also responsible for the Grow Your Own Festival which successfully celebrated its inaugural event in December 2016 with a total sell out of tickets.
She has also this year launched Electric Lady – a movement with a focus on recognizing women who excel in their fields. Electric Lady culminates with all-female band nights in Sydney (next Friday 30 June at Metro Theatre) and Melbourne (next Saturday 1 July at The Corner) featuring Alex Lahey, Ali Barter, Gretta Ray, Bec Sandridge, Jack River, Body Type and Rackett. Hit up https://www.electriclady.world for tickets and more information.
“Dirty pop doused in glitter with whispers of a Mexican sunset.” – Rolling Stone
 
“There’s a cool thing happening from the start of the new EP from Jack River (a.k.a. Australia’s Holly Rankin). The intro, ‘Highway,’ sets the mood for Highway Songs No. 2, mainly in its unexpectedness. The disparity in the songs’ sounds is probably because Rankin wrote each during different periods of her life, but despite that, the collection works as one being.” – the FADER
“She makes music for cruising with wind in your hair and sun in your eyes…” – Broadsheet
