The Musical Side of Jack Stauber

What’s going on peeps! Now that we’ve completed the weirdcore triangle of Tally Hall, Will Wood, and Lemon Demon, it’s time for some side quests in this weird experimental indie journey. Today, we’re diving into the music of Jack Stauber, a KZbinr whose eclectic style blends synth-pop with folk, jazz, lo-fi, and rock. This vintage musician has four albums full of bizarre, intriguing lyrics and animated music videos. Despite his niche, Jack has 3 million KZbin subscribers and 2 million Spotify listeners, with some songs hitting over 100 million streams. Jack Stauber was raised on music and cartoons from the 80s and 90s, his parents introduced him to diverse genres, shaping his unique style. In high school, Jack was inspired by bands like The Residents and M83, leading him to start making music with FL Studio at 16. He released his first album, “Finite Form,” at 16, followed by “Viator,” “Pop Food,” and “HiLo,” each showcasing his evolving sound.
Jack’s live performances and quirky VHS animations on KZbin gained him a cult following. His music style, with its cherry sound and dark lyrics, combined with his unique vocal techniques, make his work stand out. He’s known for using unconventional instruments and creating music that sounds both offbeat and deeply emotional. Jack’s later work, including the album “HiLo,” saw him gain significant popularity, especially on TikTok with songs like "Buttercup" and "Oh Klahoma" going viral. Despite his success, Jack has largely stepped out of the public eye, leaving fans wondering about his next move. In this video, we’ll explore Jack Stauber’s history and music. Stay tuned for the next video where we dive into his unique visual art. Make sure to like, comment, and subscribe! PEACE!
STAY TUNED FOR PART TWO DISCUSSING HIS VISUALS NEXT WEEK!

Next side quest: That Handsome Devil Edit: or Cosmo Sheldrake Edit 2: chonny jash will be the final boss

[@beetlebat]

Chonny Jash is the true final boss

[@Surepeacooler]

@beetlebat I'm taking this as exact 100% confirmation of my thesis. Jokes aside, loving this series- good luck with the rest of it

[@chaoticbonproductions]

Series Name Idea: Diverge Into The Neurodivergent

[@AmeliaInTheDaylight]

Bit of a mouthful

[@craz2580]

His style is "mental breakdown" "end of the universe" and "incomprensibile sounds of the behyond"

[@beetlebat]

Good descriptions

[@Derpster4Life]

HECK YEAH JACK STAUBER CONTENT!!!! If only I have money for patreon

[@beetlebat]

There’s more next week 😃

[@elijahyoung8172]

Maybe you should have a look They might be giants? They kinda started the will wood-lemon demon-tally hall kinda genre in the 80’s

[@danielprofeta]

You should cover Sodikken too, this video was fantastic. Long live Mr. Jack Stauber

[@beetlebat]

I plan to do one in the future! A lot of requests to go thru 😂

[@whoawhoszammy]

If you liked will wood and tally hall and complex lore.. id suggest Chonny jash. Also amazing video! ❤

[@deimoscantsleep]

CHONNY JASH MENTIONED!!!

[@rubberdorkdude5225]

Idk if this artist 100% qualifies for your videos, but I’d love to see you do a video covering the artist “Jhariah”. His music is pretty hard to pin down, since he tends to fuse genres and styles together, so I think it’d be really fun to see you cover him. Edit: One thing I would recommend is to listen to his EPs, especially “A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO FAKING YOUR DEATH”

[@ChaosTheory19935]

Agreed, its also a perfect time with his most recent album dropping recently

[@Jeremy-bt8lo]

Yes please I love many of his songs, especially the ones that feel very theatrical and angelic

[@scoopysketches]

Loving this series so far! I want to recommend taking a look at Sodikken next, though be warned they might be even weirder than Jack stauber

[@beetlebat]

WEIRDER? Oh gosh..

[@scoopysketches]

@@beetlebat yep, they only have 6 songs but there is a lot to interpret from them plus the rest of the animations on their KZbin channel are just.. pretty strange

[@Martin-m4h]

ive been waiting for a video like this for the longest time.

[@beetlebat]

You’ll get another next week!

[@Exso-]

hm, for some indie artists you can cover in your little indie song exploration series i’d like to recommend Sodikken, Femtanyl (please beware when listening her music is pretty loud), Alex g, Rio Romeo, and Good kid! love seeing your little deep-dives into artists i’ve been listening to for a while now (then again, i might’ve just hyperfixated on tally hall a lot then dug up your video) and enjoy putting more talented indie music-makers in the spotlight to get some recognition!

[@LeafPlaster]

Viator is the best album I would sell all my money for one of the cd’s, I actually bought a pop food vinyl for too much lmao

[@beetlebat]

Dang there isn’t a CD??

[@NicolARark]

Oh yeah, this video bouta be fire, i know it fellas (i'll come back fr)

[@beetlebat]

Hope you like it!

[@pizzarellayt]

I love Jack's music so much, all of it. Finite Form is alright, lots of it feels a lot like Merriweather Post Pavillion by Animal Collective. Viator introduced me to folk, as well as the sub-genre "freak folk", which to my knowledge uses weird vocal styles a lot, Sung Tongs by Animal Collective for example. I don't revisit it often since it's really long and really sad, but when I do I usually end up crying. Pop Food has been one of my favorite albums recently. If someone previously thought of Jack as just a guy trying to get popular by being weird and silly, this album will show them that not only is he pretty sophisticated when he needs to be, but he's actually good. And HiLo is a weirder evolution of Pop Food imo. I guess that was just a natural evolution for Jack. The chorus and outro of Pad Thai are actually my favorite parts of the song because of how noisy they are. They're not metal though, I'd say they're industrial rock but I don't know anything about what industrial rock sounds like. Overall, great artist, very much was a gateway artist for me into more and less accessible music. Pop Food and Finite Form made me appreciate pop more, while Viator and HiLo kind of opened the doors to things like prog, noise, folk and even ambient stuff (that was me that called Pressed Flowers "progressige folk"!!! I'm technically in this video!!). I honestly get the feeling that Jack listened to a lot of Animal Collective, or at least a bit. I've been getting into them a lot this year. If you plan on listening to their albums, their first few albums have some of the least accessible material I've ever heard. Still good, but some of it is pretty tinnitus inducing and sometimes barely sounds like music, they even have an album that I've heard described as "kind of anti-music". Merriweather Post Pavillion would be a great starting point.

[@icekingblob1233]

I absolutely love how every artist recommended in this comment section is an artist I’m a fan of.
