JESS MCALLISTER – SINGLE REVIEW

Jess McAllister – The Bushiest of Beards 

Release Date: Out Now

If Tori Amos, Kate Nash and Mae Karthauser were to somehow spawn a daughter then I would probably become weirdly infatuated with that daughter in a creative sense. What I am trying to say is that Jess McAllister is that daughter and her new single, ‘The Bushiest of Beards’, is the creative energy that I need in the world right now. Rapidly rolling piano notes, quick fire vocals and a very real sense of performance all mix to make this compelling listening and exactly the kind of tune that will rouse you from your pandemic slumber. Even the slowed down middle eight surprises with the lyric “I bought you a straw hat when I should have hit you with a baseball bat” delivered with double-edged sweetness. This is the song we all need to come out of lockdown to, as we enter dry, sunlit fields with pints in hand and smiles on faces.
