Easy

A Paul Jacobs record, this one in particular, requires a certain amount of concentration if you want to pick out all the sounds that can be found within the same song, to the point where one gets the impression that there are two different tracks playing at the same time. Not easy, despite what the title implies, but it’s worth the effort. Recorded (almost) alone at home in Montreal, Easy is full of different colour levels and atmospheres. If we’re swimming in the middle of a lysergic delirium here, it’s still familiar territory, a crazy, over-saturated psych-pop-sexy garage zone where everything is allowed. A strange journey — an experience, even — inside Paul Jacobs’ mind.
