Zagg (CD)

Zagg (CD)Hi, my name is Jackie Cohen and Ive got a new record. The title is Zagg, a nickname I picked up in high school as some dumb Kerouac related joke (I actually remember but I dont want to tell you), and also a word that means a sharp change of direction. I chose it for a number of reasons. First and foremost: its gonna look tight on an embroidered hat. As the famous adage goes, Lead with your merch! Next: Zagg is me, my name, and this record is my first

Hi, my name is Jackie Cohen and Ive got a new record. The title is Zagg, a nickname I picked up in high school as some dumb Kerouac-related joke (I actually remember but I dont want to tell you), and also a word that means a sharp change of direction. I chose it for a number of reasons.

First and foremost: its gonna look tight on an embroidered hat. As the famous adage goes, Lead with your merch! Next: Zagg is me, my name, and this record is my first real, intentional, nearly unabashed step toward being myself confidently out in the world. Here I am! Here are my songs. Finally: making this record was truly a life zagg for me. I quit my marketing job. I quit my teaching job. I quit my sausage sampling at the mall job. I started taking my meds as directed. This is my SSNRI record. Im reflecting instead of spiraling. Got my egg cracked a few times but Im landing sunny side up. Like the Bridge of Avignon, I am partly destroyed but quickly rebuilt. Im in cahoots with the Avengers of record-making. Still not perfect, but what's so sexy about perfect? The intrigue's in the pockmarks. This record is extremely fun.

Zagg is a Jonathan Rado + Matthew E. White co-production. We played X-Files on mute for the entire two weeks we spent tracking with the Spacebomb House Band. We all got the flu. Two among us came down with foot & mouth disease (wont name names). The playing and production is bright and beautiful across the whole grab-bag of love songs, laments, self-mortifications, meditations on sunscreen, hammer-anvil jams, and kit v. kit double drum cardio smash-bros looney tunes suicide pursuits. Dont get me started on Trey Pollards freak-of-nature orchestral arrangements.
