The name Jackson Scribner is synonymous with precociousness—among Americana tastemakers and indie folk listeners alike. The Texan released his self-titled debut at twenty years old, drawing rapid acclaim from American Songwriter, The Bluegrass Situation, No Depression, Folk Alley and more. Recorded during an impromptu two-week stint in the studio and comprising the first songs Jackson ever penned, that album revealed a young songwriter’s distinguished instinct. Jackson Scribner’s highly anticipated sophomore offering, Depression Kids, retains the veritable troubadour grit that can’t be taught, while benefiting from a slower, more considered process.
Jackson’s songs tend to contain vivid settings and memorable characters, often presented with the poetic epicness of a tall tale. Listeners may be surprised to learn that his approach to writing isn’t narrative. The album’s title track emerged from a mess of sticky notes strewn across Jackson’s bedroom floor. It’s a kind of write-by-osmosis style which enriches Jackson’s music with texture and cinematic movement. To listen is to live inside a feeling, rather than be told to feel it.
In addition to Jackson and Levi, the album features Jeff Ryan (St. Vincent, The War on Drugs, Daniel Johnston) on drums, Jerome Brock (Cryptolog) on guitar and keys, Kim Herriage (Songhoy Blues) on pedal steel, and Tony Hormillosa (Pleasant Grove) on bass.
