 Andi Jackson - Sub Horror
Release Date: April 16, 2021
Label: Fr33zehead
Format: Cassette / Digital
Length: 31:57
Genre: Prog Rock / Art Rock
Origin: Manchester, England

Six weeks ago, we listened to Andi Jackson's single "Antennas". The psychedelic track is featured on the second solo album by the Mancunian artist which is the object of this review now. Together with his guests, multi-instrumentalist Andi Jackson has written, composed, and recorded ten songs that are so versatile the album can hardly be categorized. The most dominant features are a strong impact by artistic Prog Rock and experimental psychedelia. Apart from that, Blues, Funk, Jazz, Shoegaze, Noise, Post Punk, and some avant-gardist insanity have left obvious footprints on the musical landscape of "Sub Horror".

"Sub Horror" sounds like a fantastic and aimless journey to the depths of the human mind where consciousness and unconsciousness no longer differ. Instead, this sonic odyssey takes us to reality where modes of perception celebrate an orgy. Like Alice into the rabbithole, the listeners slide into a colourful reverie of sounds and moods. The stage of horror or fear is bypassed in less than wink, and thus here we are - "Sub Horror".
Each of the ten tracks on "Sub Horror" display another chapter of this trippy sonic reverie. Coherence can be spotted, but like in a dream it is not linear. Instead, Andi Jackson's sophomore album moves in figures and ways, the human mind can only comprehend after waking up. While in it, you better let yourselves go to the beautiful images, and the colourful soundscapes.
If you loved "Outside the Dream" by No Man's Valley, this sonic dream will be perfect for you. So tur up the volume, and dive in.
