Australian Jack River announces debut album ‘Sugar Mountain’

Fresh off the back of a series of promising early singles, Australia’s Jack River has announced details of her debut album.

‘Sugar Mountain’ will come out on 22nd June via I OH YOU, and is being previewed by a new trailer.

Speaking about the album in a press release, Rankin says: “It’s the souvenir of my youth, the wish of what it could have been.”

“Writing and producing what is now Sugar Mountain was my self-created tool to pour every fragment of my inner destruction into some kind of creation. When I stopped to look at what I was doing and what I was chasing, I realised that every single song on this album is about something I didn’t have, lovers I never touched, and the production was the vision and sound of an alternate youth, one (naturally) from the movies, from the dream.

“Coupled with this vision of youth, this album was made over so many years and setbacks that the drums got louder, the guitars got thicker, the synths got clearer and my vocals found strength they never had when I started.
