NEWS: Olivier Jarda releases Good Luck Cartel on April 10th
Olivier Jarda
took a year and a half to make his second full-length record. It came
to life during a period of flux and instability for Jarda, who had
recently quit is job as a climate policy analyst at a think tank in
Washington, DC, and found himself in Halifax, NS taking undergraduate
science courses.
Jarda’s upcoming album, Good Luck Cartel,
echoes the years leading up to his decision to take a step back from
the din of American politics, and to return home to the Maritimes. The
result is a collection of modern folk songs, some dressed up, some pared
down, whose stories look back, look forward and try to describe the
view.
Jarda recorded the album in Halifax over the last two winters with Charles Austin at Echo Chamber,
and with the help of some very talented friends, including former
Turnstiles band mates Peter Gorman and Jesse Griffith, and Nick Wombolt.
The album will be released independently in Canada on April 10th and
will be released on the independent label Jam Jar Records in the UK in
May.
