Stone Jack Jones announces new album Love & Torture

Stone Jack Jones - Love and Torture

Nashville based musician Stone Jack Jones is gearing up to release Love & Torture, his fourth full-length album, next year. It follows Ancestor, released earlier this year and it emerges amidst Jack’s recent health problems. Jack’s fate has turned out to be one of challenge and realization, with him pulling through a rare blood condition twice. “During this time”, as the press release explains, “he deeply pondered the necessity of death, the torturous pain that comes with the death of someone you love, and eventually arrived at the simultaneously comforting and alarming conclusion that he was both alive and dead at the same time.” It adds that “rather than encouraging his listeners to escape reality, Jack urges us to embrace the child-like wonder that’s so often obscured by our monotonous routines, allowing us to reconnect with the infinite wonder that lies just under the surface of our everyday reality.”

The upcoming Love & Torture, due out on March 17th via Western Vinyl, sees Jack teaming up again with producer Roger Moutenot, and members of Lambchop and Patty Griffin who guest on vocals.

‘Circumstance’, a brooding and entrancing track, is the first taste to emerge from the album. Listen to it now.
