Jack O’ The Clock hails from Oakland, California, delivering a sonic hybrid rooted in 70s progressive folk. Their recent album, The Warm, Dark Circus, opens with the magnificent 7-and-a-half-minute kaleidoscopic odyssey, The Ladder Slipped, which immediately captures attention. The band doesn’t conform to trends or hype; instead, they seem to revel in their unique approach. What starts as an approached folk ballad continuously builds and evolves as new elements are added, leading to a breathtaking climax. Closer to progressive rock with a gentle folk flavor, this music transports listeners to another dimension with a different ethos.
