We enter the otherworldly blackhole that is ‘HELLFIRE BUMPER STICKER COWPUNCHING JEWBOY’ with a high degree of curiosity. You see, there aren’t many people doing what Jack Goldstein is doing. The British creative is boldly adventuring down the ‘hyper-country’ avenue, a place where Americana, Folk, Rock and Hip-Hop get blended together into a cathartic fever dream, one that feels hazy and hypnotising, but also hard-hitting and memorable.
Eclecticism is the word. Hailing from the hyped-up British coastal town of Margate, Goldstein has a surprisingly Atlantic attitude towards his music, drawing from the last forty years of Western musical tradition with curiosity and boundary-pushing attitude. Boasting former militance in the band Fixers, Jack is now a fierce solo outfit, a formula that seems to suit him very well, given the richness of references in ‘HELLFIRE BUMPER STICKER COWPUNCHING JEWBOY’.
Overall, such a striking record cannot be truly described; instead, it should be experienced first-hand, letting Goldstein’s vivid, visionary vocals take you into unexpected territories. That’s what music is all about, isn’t it? The British troubadour gets it. He does. Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘HELLFIRE BUMPER STICKER COWPUNCHING JEWBOY’, Jack explains: “a fever dream in a parallel dimension where Britney Spears makes a fully fledged country and western album around the time she shaves her head – the moment this cosmic heartache begins to envenom the world.”
