WHAT IT IS: Jackson Phillips, the lead singer of this alternative rock band from Oakland, CA, which formed in 2015, is a critically acclaimed vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. Their debut EP, Headcase, was released in 2015 and featured “Drag”—the track that quickly gathered acclaim throughout that year. SiriusXM Alt Nation, XMU and Morning Becomes Eclectic were all early supporters. Although Phillips has proven to be his own best critic and driving engine, he has enlisted the help of Mark Rankin—the celebrated engineer known for his work with Paul Epworth (Adele, Bloc Party, Queens of the Stone Age)—to help give his music a sonic step-up in order to properly begin to fill its unlimited headspace and potential.
