Jordan Jones

Power-pop troubadour-turned-piano balladier Jordan Jones continues his steady annual releases of singles that depict a musician in accelerated bloom. In only a couple short years since releasing his debut self-titled LP, he’s quickly outgrown the genre confines of jangle-punk yesterlife and found aptitude towards writing styles more akin to that of ELO, Dwight Twilley Band, Robyn HItchcock, and the philly-soul stylings of Hall & Oates. His latest EP, “And I, You”, shows further the gradient of his sea change–piano-driven heart-squeezers a la Tobias Jesso Jr. or Gilbert O’Sullivan with truly impressive piano and string arrangements that are strictly Jordan Jones. As of recently, Jones’ reverence for film has led him to the endeavor of soundtracking. He’s decorated films on a vast spectrum, from skate vids to art films. In Agathe (dir. Jenna Putnum, 2021), Jones carpets a valley meadow with soft notes and strings as Agathe transforms through the grips of grief, emerging anew. In Thrasher Magazine-premiered Thank You, Jordan illustrates David Reyes’ somber and poetic skate part accordingly. The regular unveilings that Jordan Jones lifts in the sequential development of his own artistic growth has proven to be must-view material, progressing into better and better output. On the precipice of his latest release, And I, You, one only has to stay attuned to Jones as he satellites above. -Danny Dodge
