The London (UK) based alternative rock band Jingo create short but stunning symphonies of power.
The band centres around the successful Pratt Institute graduate Katie Buckett — on keys and main vocal, with Jack Buckett (on guitar) and Joseph Reeves (on drums.)
The warm clay-voice of Katie is filled with yeasted emotion…
We have been listening to Ghost in the Machine, the second single to be taken from the EP:
This starts in chapel-like tranquillity when a cappella voices rise spectrally from the dust.
Then a drum regularly pounds, as it announces a slight fluster. Crushed guitar strings waft towards you in waves as stiff as folds of meringue.
The melody is a delight and the warm clay-voice of Katie is filled with yeasted emotion. The lyrics, too, are inspired.
This piece is rhythmically sensual.
And without fear, it brings the concept of mind-body dualism into your ears …
It’s a song filled with feeling, contemplation and love… You can move your mind, by Jingo. Yes, we know you can do it!
