JACKIE LYNN "Jacqueline" CD

A new album by Jacqui Lynn, another project of the highly acclaimed avant-folk singer Hailey Foa (Circuit Is You), released as a band! The synth pop sound is completely different from Circuit Is You's and is extremely fresh!

Hayley Foer, aka Circuit Is You, is a highly acclaimed avant-experimental folk singer whose last two albums have been selected as the best of the year by many Western media. In 2016, she launched her surprising synth pop project, Jackie Lynn. Her debut album, released in the same year, was also highly praised, and now she's back with Cooper Crane, Rob Frye, and Dan Quinlevine of Bitchin' Bajas, a psychedelic/ambient/space rock/drone/new age trio from Chicago known for their collaboration with Bonnie "Prince" Billy. The synth pop sound is much more polished than on the debut album, and it's really stimulating. Hayley Foer's ever-changing singing voice, which is also a major attraction of Circuit Is You, which has been described as a progressive opera, is also wonderful! "Jacqueline" was recorded at home and mixed by Cooper Crane at Electrical Audio.
