___________________

Jack Shriner is a Seattle singer, guitarist, writer/arranger, and home-recordist whose music has been featured on NPR.org's All Songs Considered, compiled in the Seattle-based Ball of Wax Audio Quarterly, and reviewed favorably in numerous publications. The result of several years' loving and patient handiwork, Dismember/Remember is Jack’s third self-released long-player.

Attempts to describe Jack’s sound tend to rely upon comparisons to the music of other artists, and depending on the listener, this could evoke all sorts of associations. Some have included Mark Kozelek, Jeff Buckley, Talk Talk, Slowdive and other shoegazers, Simon & Garfunkel, Peter Gabriel-era Genesis, Fripp & Eno, and the list goes on. However, Dismember/Remember is not a bland regurgitation of such reference points. Jack’s familiarity with a broad range of styles enhances but never overshadows the singular voice of his work.

This is a record that rewards close and repeated listening. Its layers of guitar, synth, bass, drums, and vocals produce atmospheres that are cinematic in their sweep—tranquil one moment, mercurial the next. At times, often after one or two introductory verses, the music stretches itself from a more conventional pop/rock structure into unanticipated shapes, causing puzzling narrative shifts and thrilling juxtapositions. While the lyrics occasionally hint at a story—a realtor committing suicide in “Your Headache” (track 2), an abandoned house betraying forgotten secrets in “Family Quarry” (track 3), a man pining for his muse then accidentally running her over with his car in the title track (track 6)—what ultimately remains are painted pictures, themes that grapple with the breakdown of human communication, the importance of self-expression, and the psychic spaces that outlive the physical ones.
