The Jack Moves - Biblical Technology (Official Video)
Newark, NJ duo The Jack Moves release new single for ‘Biblical Technology’, lifted from their latest album ‘Cruiserweight’, which will see a vinyl and CD release through Ever-loving Records on March 24, 2023.
A glitched out funk odyssey dedicated to those who choose to live life in excess, ‘Biblical Technology’ is brought to life with a new animated video created by Olita Sommers which captures the city’s hard-living underbelly. Speaking about the animation Sommers says; In my art I love to create worlds that reflect how I see the one we are living in, so when The Jack Moves asked me to create the visual for the story of their song 'Biblical Technology' I absolutely loved the opportunity and could not wait create a unique animated world for them.
Across their self-titled debut effort, Newark, NJ based duo The Jack Moves captured the duality of the city’s existence, from the crummy and rude glory hole bandits of Penn Station to cherry blossom park lovers north of the city. The seaside soul meets skate-punk funk narrative was artfully carried forward on the band's sophomore offering Free Money, which was named one of 2018's best albums of the year by KCRW.
Since that last outing, Zee Desmondes and Teddy Powell have collected the experiences from their previous travels, and brought them back to home soil, where they would inevitably get deeper into their Jersey roots. To examine what distinguishes a city like Newark and a state like New Jersey from any other. How it’s become like an alternate dimension, somewhat stuck in the past, but simultaneously far off into the future. To further connect with an unusual cast of characters, and translate their passion and mysticism into song.
With Cruiserweight, The Jack Moves take a cinematic approach to song making. Each tune is a vignette, where the fellas get deep into character, to deliver essential parts of the story. As the plot thins and thickens, we’re treated to the sound we’ve come to love, along with a few new card tricks brought to the table. Legendary producer/arranger Paul Kyser dubbed The Jack Moves “the baddest band in New York City," and they sound every bit of it on their third full length LP Cruiserweight.
