- Jacob Boote: Jakey’s Mirage
(2020, cassette, Australia, private release)
The Jakey’s Mirage story wasn’t planned as such but was the result of spending to much time with some cheap giveaway instruments and homemade apple jack in my dusty old shed via some weird nostalgic cassette fetishism. It follows Lil’ Jakey in an imaged story that runs somewhat parallel with Jacob’s journey though the COVID epidemic and lockdown and is somewhat reminiscent of Frank Zappa’s album Joes Garage.
Well, I really enjoyed listening to this album.
There’s the Central Scrutinizer voice overs and several tracks were inspired by FZ compositions (The Torture Never Stops, Heavy Duty Judy, Love Of My Life,...).
The album cover of features Frank Zappa in his “We’re Only In It For The Money” outfit.
And the album title is in line with Joe's "Corsage", "XMasage" or "Menage". Nice!
Out on cassette in a limited edition of 30 copies, and I guess I bought the last available copy.
But also available for streaming and download through Bandcamp !!
Lo-fi madness. I love it.
Another fine addition to "The Others Of Invention".
Check it out!!
