Europiana Encore, an extended edition of Jack’s acclaimed album Europiana, features six brand-new tracks including synth driven, heartfelt banger ‘Dancing Through The Rain’; the dance floor swagger of ‘Late Night’; and the funk filled ‘Why Not’.
"The same way you don’t want the night to end, I don’t want this Europiana journey to end. More than a repack, Europiana Encore is the sequel,” Jack said of the album. Europiana is both its title and a term coined to capture the spirit of the songs and the sun-soaked influences they absorb.
“When I came up with the concept, some people thought I’d lost the plot,” laughs Jack. “What? You want to invent a new genre? In fact, it already exists - it just isn’t acknowledged. There’s no chart or award for it.
“Europiana isn’t a sound. It’s references and inspirations and the emotions they evoke. It’s the music of my childhood summers, remade for today. It’s apparent which artists and eras inspired us, just as it was obvious Oasis loved The Beatles, but the music is modern, not a pastiche.”
Recording took place at a socially-distanced Abbey Road, with the band playing as live.
“I arrived with a suitcase of 18 songs and we recorded them all as live takes in ten days,” says Jack. “Everyone was so excited to be back at work, to experience the joy of making music again. The love and camaraderie was nuts. As cheesy as it sounds, it was an emotional experience.”
