Sebadoh helped pioneer the sound of lo-fi indie in the early ’90s, and guitarist Jason Loewenstein has been part of that work since he joined in 1989. But sometimes being part of a groundbreaking band isn’t enough of an outlet, which led Loewenstein to release his solo album At Sixes and Sevens in 2002. 15 years later, the singer-songwriter is back with another solo effort, Spooky Action.
Spooky Action was recorded and produced by Loewenstein himself and is said to be “as solidly engaging as anything in Loewenstein’s formative lineage.” The result is 13 tracks of blistering, steady indie rock that proves even a legend can still pull out some new tricks.
“I need to make a solo record every 15 years or so, it helps keep me limber,” Loewenstein tells…
…Consequence of Sound. “If you like music, you’re gonna love this record.”
“It had been a good long time since I had done any solo work. The reception of my tunes on the last Sebadoh record were so positive, it just got my juices flowing. Confronted with a long break from Sebadoh plans, I got to work in my studio.”
