Jack Grace releases debut album 'Turn To Something You Know' featuring previous singles, ‘A Ribbon’, ‘Redemption’, ‘Daydreaming’ and ‘The Pavement’ and more!
“Around the end of my first year in France I had a moment where I realised I had inadvertently ripped the rug out from under my identity,” Grace recalls.
“I went about trying to rebuild it and I made this record while I did that.”
Jack Grace, an inimitable artist. The journey for the singer-songwriter, musician and producer started in the suburbs of Newcastle (NSW) obsessing over piano, making demos and listening to mixes of Silver Chair, Dylan and Ray Charles. The result of which led him to the upper echelons of the Australian indie underground world before relocating to Paris in 2018.
Grace shares his elliptical debut album Turn To Something You Know. Featuring previous singles, ‘A Ribbon’, ‘Redemption’, ‘Daydreaming’ and ‘The Pavement’, the record ties the new sonic world created by Grace into a personal, 11 track vignette into his life.
Turn To Something You Know was created with deep rooted inspiration combining with a new and refreshed context. Classic songwriting is inspired by life experience through the lens of growing up in small towns and outer suburbs, and his own experience of moving from the vast rural landscapes of Australia to the cultural metropolis of Paris, losing and ultimately rediscovering a sense of self.
It’s on this album that Jack Grace manifests his experiences into a solely unique sound. The classically trained pianistcites a melting pot of influences, from American songwriting greats Dylan, Springsteen and mavericks like David Byrne and Arthur Russell to early ‘00s post-rock and slow-core bands Low and The War on Drugs, via the electronic experimentalism of Massive Attack and Portishead and, more recently, Oneohtrix Point Never.
