Joltjacket

Ehiorobo's full-length project, Joltjacket, consists of 18 tracks of the most far-reaching yet distilled material in his catalog.

Four-plus years in the making, the songs on Joltjacket were birthed out of a mix of tumultuous and beautiful events in Ehiorobo’s life, including but not limited to lapses in mental health leading to admittance as an involuntary in-patient at a psych ward, experiencing ups and downs of long-term romantic relationships and feeling the joy of becoming an uncle for the first time and seeing his parents become grandparents.

The sounds are far-reaching, multicolored and intended to encourage the listener to think about love, vitality and the abstractness of life in novel ways. Ehiorobo shares further, “Throughout it all, this album and the opportunity to be my creative self in pursuit of good fun, momentous reflection, high spirits, and deep wonder have been instrumental to the forward movement of my vitality. I hope Joltjacket is able to do anything of the sort within anyone else at all.”

Specifically, the phrase Joltjacket is a nickname Ehiorobo created to describe the nervous system and fully recognizing the heat of one’s own presence. With the intent to “make others feel at home within themselves”, Joltjacket emanates a source of energy, solace and adventure that serves as a reminder to us all — we can be more than one thing at once.

Bandcamp Album Of The Day: Ehiorobo - "Joltjacket"

"Ehiorobo’s twist on R&B is sweetly disarming on his electric new album Joltjacket. Using sounds from countless musical influences, from dissonant noise punk to honeyed soul and pop, each track offers an exuberant reflection on the emotional and sensory overloads experienced in life"

Under The Radar Premiere: Ehiorobo Shares New Single “Fun & Torture” ft. Isa Reyes

"A slow-burning track, steadily building from a sparse guitar instrumental into a lush cinematic expanse, tinged with ambient production, strings, towering synths, and blazing guitar lines. With no drums to be found in the mix, Ehiorobo crafts a floating celestial odyssey, given shape and form by his stirring vocal performance. Slowly, the soulful R&B ballad gives way to a dramatic psychedelic climax, with Isa Reyes coming in on the second half for an otherworldly feature"

The Central Trend Joltjacket Is A Compound Of Metallic Sound & Harmonious Flow

"Other than Joltjacket just being unorthodox, its melodic elements intertwine with its metallic fibers seamlessly, making me feel like I was resting on a storm cloud about to strike in the midst of listening"
