All musicians come from the same vital London scene, have met several times. Bonfanti and Milner first meet in 2008 at a shared house in north London, where their shared appreciation for blues and roots led them to forge their first musical bonds, which become more intense as time goes on. Rex and Evan meet in a similar way, but a few thousand miles away on the other side of the world, in Perth, Australia, from where they decide to move to England for the love of music. The pieces of their debut are written during several sessions of Bonfanti and Milner in Paddy's aforementioned house.
They name themselves after a song title from The Band's second, self-titled album from 1969. Building on this tradition, all tracks are recorded live in the 'State of The Ark' studio, using the famous EMI mixing desk from the 'Pathé Marconi' studios in Paris. The finishing touches are added with the help of Marcus' brother in North London, whose collection of old synthesizers and microphones is very helpful. Finally, the album is mixed in New Zealand by Nick Portman and mastered in Devon by Star Delta. In addition, a special mix is created for the vinyl edition to make both versions sound appropriately good. Paddy Milner's and Marcus Bonfanti's distinctive voices create a special atmosphere, both sharing lead vocals. Combined with Rex Horan's Fasetto, it all adds up to a mix that can now be considered a hallmark of the Jawbone sound.
The influences here range from Little Feat to The Band to the Rolling Stones to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, but are complemented by the multi-layered musical backgrounds of all involved for just the freshness that lets Jawbone create an entirely new approach to familiar rock 'n' roll. Finally coming to Germany in September 2019.
