I Will Die In This Jean Jacket is a testimony of how the lines between commitment and attachments are often blurred. It is the new gloom-punk project from Jim Blaha (The Blind Shake, Green/Blue). Blaha has collaborated with luminaries including Michael Yonkers, John Reis, Shannon Selberg, Dale Flattum, and Zak Sally and has released records on Goner, Castle Face, Dirtnap, Hozac, Feel It, Slovenly, and Swami. On "Hang From A Cloud", he concludes over three years of artistic solitude by heading back into the basement to create in an even deeper state of isolation.
Formed in Minneapolis this past December, the late-night sessions gradually revealed a concept: capturing the feeling he had from the mixtapes a friend used to make during their teenage skateboarding years, where late 1970s post punk sat comfortably alongside the more exposed underground sounds of the 80s and 90s and every song seemed to come from the same hazy, imaginary city somewhere far, far away. "Hang From A Cloud" is a long-lost pirate radio transmission from an alternate 1980s universe. Guitars, vocals, drums, drum machines, and bass all captured on cobbled together equipment in a cinder block bunker on a frigid midwest, winter night.
