Jack Cheshire - INTERLOPER - Album Launch Party

Event information

To celebrate the release of his sixth album 'INTERLOPER' acclaimed artist Jack Cheshire presents a full band extravaganza at Paper Dress Vintage.

'INTERLOPER' is an album about belonging or not belonging and all that entails. Living on an island, aware of this insidious creep toward something ugly, and the people who say 'if you don't like it then leave'. So you wonder; where would I go? If I arrive somewhere new to lay down roots, will I just be displacing the people who are already there? Part of the next wave of gentrification, a proliferation of interlopers jacking up rents and taking over. You're conscious of everything being up for sale, carved up and sold off, accumulated by bad agents; the land owners, the landlords, the profiteers who have been given licence to run amok. You wonder how you can channel your fury at the architects of all this. You wonder what you're made of. You wonder who you are and where you're going.

Cheshire's timeless sixth outing weaves visions of lost futures and social alienation as viewed through the prism of cerebral static. Cheshire has always deftly mined his subconscious, an artist unafraid to turn off the filters and experiment, but there is an immediacy to these new compositions, a confidence and maturity that is at once intoxicating and striking. From the first hazy, oneiric drones of Transmigrations ‘INTERLOPER’ casts a spell that does not relent.

Jack Cheshire is a musical artist and producer known for his genre-defying sound pictures and poetic, allusive lyricism.
