Absent Swan 02:47
I found an absent swan here, the kind that blew my mind & grafting pens to its wing tips, I showed it where to sign, We went out for dinner & a show, I didn't know she was blind, They kicked us out for talking too loudly, One man's trash was a swan's good time I took the swan back to my house, I ain't no gentelman jim/tim/slim kim, I asked the swan if she knew about Leda, She said, "no I ain't heard of, wait a second, is that him?" When I awoke the next mornin' The swan was making to fly, Oh swanny, swan you know your way around my insides, but you're still gonna, still gonna have to die, & to be honest, I was always gonna cook and eat that bird, 'cause I'ma growin boy, & swan meat is quite lean

P.B.F. 03:22
I'm happy by myself, I guess you'd say I get what I want, a pretty blue fox, with lemon shaped eyes, defined by the sun & now she'll stagger me all down those stairs you can't bury love, I always get her wrong, no guiding lights to lace me home, the land is disturbed, the dusk of her crazy dance & no one's ever out, the birds fly out of her mind a pretty blue fox, with lemon shaped eyes defined by the sun & now she's running me apart in the sky you can't bury my love

Cupid Sound 04:30
It is not the power, it is the grace, of fallin down, where you left me, as the clown, while I so deftly loved you, I cram my foot into my mouth, to spite my name, I'd burn my house down to the ground, This is not the cupid sound & with my shoes, I'd paint your face, you name the time & I lose my place, It is repeating & self-defeating, so I will float down stream I taste the corners of your heart, the same mistakes to make if we take it from the start, This is not the cupid sound, whats the point of comin round, if you don't hear that cupid sound

about

Recorded very gradually over a period of several years (2014-2017?), this took Jack far longer to release than it should have. Mind you he has been playing in a whole mess of other bands such as Babaganouj, Blonde Tongues, Inland Sea, Eden Mulholland, DEEDS and the list goes on.

However, Jack Spider is finally releasing his debut solo ep in the form of Animal Cafe.

It is a shambolic, dreamy, loving mess. Like the unmade bed of a lover who eats crisps in there when they're drunk. It veers from garage-folk, to straight up french cafe music and ends on something somewhere between the smashing pumpkins doing strawberry fields.

Not many other Ep's will start you off on a date with a blind swan and leave you standing outside your own house as it burns to the ground, but Jack Spider is happy to take you there and back again on his ep Animal Cafe
