08 September 2017 (Toronto, ON) – Multi-platinum recording artist Jack Johnson has released his 7th studio album, All The Light Above It Too, today through his own label Brushfire Records and Republic Records/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. Fans are able to purchase the album through all music retailers, all online platforms including his online store, check it out here.
The new album is Johnson’s first since 2013. In celebration of the release, Johnson will perform the first single, “My Mind Is For Sale” as well as “Big Sur” tonight on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Listen to All The Light Above It Too Here.
“This album shares what has been on my mind during the past year or so,” says Johnson. “A year in which I sailed through the North Atlantic Gyre for a documentary about plastic pollution in the ocean. A year in which Trump was elected as the President of the United States. A year in which I camped, surfed, got stitches, explored, dreamed, shared time and endless conversations with my family and friends...all of which inspired these songs. I usually make sketches of the songs first then set up a time to actually record the album. This time around the original sketches became the final versions. I didn’t want to lose any of the spirit that a song has in its rawest form.” To finish out the record Johnson called upon producer Robbie Lackritz (Feist, Bahamas), along with his longtime band mates to play on a few of the tracks.
