Casting backwards and forwards, Northern Michigan songwriter Jack M. Senff weaves together small moments of his life in an attempt to examine and explore the greater themes of love and loss, family, change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving taken a year away to appraise and reassess, Senff sheds the Boy Rex name in favor of his own. After several albums chasing a certain sound, a specific color, Good to Know You shifts the palette to something softer, quieter, and perhaps that much truer to the integrity of his work. Self-recorded in various bedrooms and living rooms, this album hopes to capture all the warmth and intimacy his songs have to offer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGood to Know You was mixed and mastered by Senff’s old friend Mike Kenway (William Bonney, In Ghosts), and features the impressive talents of Brian Morgante (DEADHORSE, Flesh and Bone Design), Shannon Lee Stott-Rigsbee (Tyler Daniel Bean, Adrian Ardvark), his wife Em Randall, and Arthur Shroeder (After Ours).

Written just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the new album was recorded in Wyandotte, Michigan at Eureka Records after multiple delays, during a lucky weekend break in the national, global upheaval of 2020. Donning masks, songwriter Jack M. Senff \u0026amp; his newly-formed Rolling Hill Band came together to explore a 70’s-inspired realm of Americana music, tracking the album “on expert mode” live with limited overdubs. In turns driving, volatile, patient, \u0026amp; exalting, ‘These Northwood Blues’ pivots Senff from the acoustic, bedroom stylings of his debut (2019’s ‘Good To Know You’) into the wider world of folk rock. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album was engineered \u0026amp; mixed by the careful hand of multi-instrumentalist Austin Stawowczyk (Shortly, Great Expectations) who also co-produced alongside Senff \u0026amp; his creative partner Brian Morgante (Flesh \u0026amp; Bone Design, DEADHORSE), the spiritual second leader of the Rolling Hill Band. Filling out the group are Morgan Arrowood (Little Graves) \u0026amp; Schyler Binkley (Schyler the Potter, Ender) on piano \u0026amp; drums, respectively.

Senff has spent more than a decade quietly chasing down his version of the truth. From an auspicious start in cult-favorite screamo projects Merchant Ships and William Bonney, to the post-punk offerings of Knola or the indie-rock experiment Boy Rex, Senff has always traded in the immediacy of feeling and personal storytelling in pursuit of some universal connection to the world around us.

Utilizing elements of 70’s folk rock (Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt), 90’s singer-songwriter (Tracey Chapman, Marc Cohn, Sam Phillips), and modern day acts (Hiss Golden Messenger, Big Thief), his music is at once familiar and strange, decidedly moving to the rhythm of its own pulse. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWith ‘Low Spirit’ Jack M. Senff continues building on the foundation laid out in 2020’s ‘These Northwood Blues,” expanding the sonic palette to create an immersive, dynamic experience. With the help of his Rolling Hill Band, Senff and co. take the listener on a rollercoaster journey into devastating valleys and soaring peaks, crafting a record in turns melancholy and joyous, reflective, bittersweet. Backed by an incredible group of friends and collaborators, ‘Low Spirit’ sees Senff reaching new heights, his music finally starting to align with the ragged ambition pulsing at the heart of all his work as he chases down, quietly, his version of the truth. And at least until the next one, this is as close as he’s ever gotten to finding it. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Skeletal Lightning","offers":[{"title":"Black 12\" Vinyl LP","offer_id":39751096533054,"sku":"653233963859","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1145\/8506\/products\/jackmsenfflowspiritvinylmockblackhighrescopy.jpg?v=1692981732"},{"product_id":"jack-m-senff-feeling-devotion","title":"Jack M.
