Darren Jackson (Kid Dakota, The Hopefuls) recently built a studio in his home in Northeast Minneapolis and has had a steady flow of various artists in and out recording. It seems as if he's barely had time for his own projects. However, these comers-and-goers have possibly influenced him toward something new, and given him the opportunity to refine his skills in the studio.
Hear what local Minneapolis blog bolachas grátis has to say about Kid Dakota's newest release "A Winner's Shadow":
Thus, "A Winner's Shadow" qualifies as the most DIY record Jackson has made, and it's definitely his most cohesive. From the whirling, march-paced opener "New York System" to the paranoid but gorgeous closing ballad "Fallout" -- who knew Jackson could do the Thom Yorke thing so well? -- the record is one big exercise in loud vs. soft rock 'n' roll. Its best cuts, including the steady-climbing "Chutes & Ladders" and the CD's climax, "Downhill," seem to have four or five levels of volume and intensity.
In an interview I went to Jackson also commented on a Hopefuls album coming out this year sometime. They have 30-something songs ready, so there is plenty to form an album.
