Rest in power, Jimmy Cliff

I normally don’t cover music with the JER project. It’s my band where I express my message through my art. this track was an exception. The track was originally recorded by Jimmy Cliff, an artist whose music is rooted in ska, it had a profound impact my music

This week while recording for YouTube:

1. Popped a BRAND NEW guitar string
2. Ring light fell off its stand and broke lmao
3. Microphone stand fell apart
4. One of my monitors started cutting in and out
5. Had to buy a new external hard drive

And this is where merch orders / Patreon helps!

I MADE A DEATH OF THE HEART READING LIST
it’s no secret that the record has deep political themes interwoven into the songs. If the lyrics of this record resonated with you, here’s some books that really shaped much of my politic, and by proxy shaped the themes of DEATH OF THE HEART

The death of the heart text sits above and below it with JER signed over the word heart in yellow Graphic of JER performing live placed in a magazine style layout, with titles up top and paragraphs at the bottom A black bar with white text sits on the left.
