Jack Johnson - Sleep Through The Static
Jack Johnson is primarily known for his subtle, refreshing, and laid-back acoustic work, but with his newest album “Sleep Through The Static”, Johnson picks up his electric guitar, adds some sound effects, and comes out on top.
His subtle, delicate, and wordy sound remains, but was has been added is a refreshing instrumental sound and platform for which he crafts his songs and the album.
The title track is easily a hit single and while fans of his from the “Curious George” soundtrack may be a bit baffled, those who have followed his work from the start will accept the small change of pace and realize that even an artist such as Johnson can become bored and repetitive if he doesn’t mix it up a bit…
….thankfully for our ears he succeeds exponentially.
