Vote now for Meteor Irish song of the Year
Over the next month or so I'll be giving you two handfuls of quirky reasons as to why each of the nominees for the METEOR CHOICE MUSIC PRIZE SONG OF THE YEAR should be getting your vote. Next on the list of nominees is New Jackson.
You can vote for New Jackson's Sat around Here Waiting to be song of the year by clicking on the above link. But first here are our reasons why you need to consider giving him your vote to pick up the prize on February 27th...
Because...could this win song of the year?
Because New Jackson produces nocturnal disco-adventures from his studio by the sea.
Because New Jackson is the alias of veteran Irish singer songwriter David Kitt, it's his electronic side project...
Because "Sat Around Here Waiting" , his debut, features two of his trademark ghostly jams alongside two remixes by British uprising talent Fort Romeau and our very own Pional.
Because live, New Jackson expands, cranking up the machines: vintage drum modules, trusted synths, a dusty Russian vocoder and an MPC heart.
Because New Jackson's track Major Problems has been dubbed “techno-gone-disco” by Pitchfork.
Because this is New Jackson’s remix of The xx’s wonderful ‘Swept Away’..
Because you can follow New Jackson here on twitter...
So the NJ remix of The xx's 'Swept Away' now available on digital on @beatport. http://t.co/DGJzxSVIW8
