| JACK RIVER+ REVEALS NEW SINGLE ‘ADOLESCENT’ + ANNOUNCES SUGAR MOUNTAIN DELUXE ALBUM + TOURING ON THE SUGAR MOUNTAIN BALL THIS MAY/JUNE + NOMINATED FOR APRA AWARD FOR BREAKTHROUGH SONGWRITER OF THE YEAR + PLAYING GROOVIN THE MOO |
| I OH YOU is incredibly proud to present Jack River’s glistening new single ‘Adolescent’. Premiered on triple j Good Nights and CLASH and accompanied by a lyric video full of angst, ‘Adolescent’ is a boycott to conventional pop subject matter, questioning youth’s age old obsession with love and lust. Calling out the façade of social media culture’s infatuation with aesthetics, this is a song for all the boys and girls chasing something deeper and grittier, something with meaning. “I wrote ‘Adolescent’ in NYC a couple of years ago. It’s a song for all the girls and boys sick of shallow love and the culture that celebrates it.” – Jack River |
