Jesse Mac Cormack, indie-electronic-pop art rock
Jesse Mac Cormack is finally beginning to grasp the true meaning of his music. His second studio album is as piercing as a glance, as tender as a goodbye. It’s a collection of electronic songs that swell and break like waves on a shore. The recording process was by turns enriching, peaceful, solitary and anxiety-provoking. Time, distance and therapy enabled the Montreal songwriter to finally understand everything he wanted to express.
SOLO was created in May 2022.
Stemming from this latest record is a recently announced EP entitled SOLO_2. A 3-song work composed of reinvented tracks from the original album: NFHN_2, A&E_2 and Blue World_2. “The idea of doing alternative versions of the songs that were on SOLO came about after performing my album launch at the Phi Centre in Montreal last spring,” says Jesse. “Playing the songs live made me want to move into a more electronic musical vibe and dynamism to experiment with a different energy on stage.”
