In the beginning there was Jack…

Although it came out in late May, I’ve only just discovered Damian Lazarus’ album Smoke the Monster Out yesterday.

I confess I did so mainly because I wanted to know a bit more about the man who was opening for Underworld, Wednesday night, beyond the fact he runs the excellent label Crosstown Rebels.

The whole album is absolutely delightful, and I strongly recommend it, but after one listen, I immediately singled out one track that won me over instantly.

I won’t say exactly why, but check out the track he cites at the -1:22 marker on the player’s timer!
