Ltd to 300 LPs with download code. Jackie Charles started in Berlin 2017 as the love child, band and alter ego of songwriter Kaja Bremnes. After a string of shows the band grew to become darlings on the continental European underground scene. With synths as the base and reverby guitar twang, the band lies somewhere within the illusive dream pop genre. Jackie Charles have been compared to everything from David Bowie and The Cure to Ariel Pink and Alvvays. Once described as "existentialist-new wave-postpunk-dad rock", Jackie Charles has one foot firmly placed on an Arctic Norwegian fishing boat and the other runs free on the rooftops of Berlin’s Skyline. The nihilist lyrics remind you of how good it feels when everything is shit and thoroughly suits the warmth of a pre-apocalyptic summer. There is one special feature which is called the Golden Joker. There is a golden playing card inserted into one of the record sleeves. The person who finds it and sends the label a message online will win free guest list and a copy of each vinyl release for life!
Superb delicate and dreamy indie that slips through into a magical realm of sunshine pop and cleverly crafted indie.
