The 1984 Listening Post - Jacobites - Jacobites

Jacobites - Jacobites

Jacobites
Jacobites
1.75 out of 5

Highlights:
Kings and Queens

Opening with "Big Store", an 8 minute piece that seems to be an interpolation of Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", Jacobites are a fitting way for us to end 84. Obscure, toes in the 60s, trying to bring relevance to a combo platter of Garage Rock & Jangle Pop, tired and bored subway busking. For busking I prefer Violent Femmes or Marine Girls.
I never heard of Jacobites. They don't surprise. And they've drifted into ephemera.
