“Places to Hide” is the second album of JACK AND THE BEARDED FISHERMEN. The formation from French city Besançon plays a heavy, bulky and modern heavy rock, that owns distinctive hardcore/punk roots. The sound is dense and heavy, but always remains flexible and transparent. The ten pieces convince with their convoluted, but never erratic or chaotic song structures. Very well thought out and pretty mature – and deliberately placed outside usual (sub)genre limitations. J&TBF skillfully combine the muddy stoner rock of QOTSA, the noisy riff-rock of AKIMBO and the raspy post-hardcore of DRIVE LIKE JEHU. Highly Recommended!
“Places to Hide” was co-released by Impure Muzik (IMP039) and other smaller French DIY labels in March 2011. The album can be purchased on Vinyl, CD and as download from the band’s Bandcamp page.
