Powerhouse
““I was five years old, my mum was sick / Our dad was away and you were a prick,” sings Jam Rostron on ‘Dear Brother’, its light, flute-like whistles sounding joltingly breezy when matched with the story of a childhood trauma suffered at the hands of a sibling. It’s devastating, but Rostron is less focused on reliving the past than truly living the future. “I’m ready to let it out,” they declare. “”

“Part travelogue, part self-help manual, this English ex-pat-- who counts Peaches, Kevin Blechdom, Jamie Lidell, and Chicks On Speed among her friends-- uses her self-imposed alienation to examine personal truths.”

“On All Love's Legal Planningtorock's Jam Rostron refines her approach, adding or subtracting beats and strings until finding the right tension between her unambiguous gender politics and her unknowable voice.”
