EP Focus: Pepperjack

If you're into mandolin, road trips and the Aussie accent, chances are you'll be into Pepperjack.

Answered by: Lauren Moore
 
EP title?
Buckles & Bruises
 
How many releases do you have now?
Technically we have two releases. The previous EP was a solo effort, recorded in Brisbane, with Lauren playing all instruments.
 
Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making?
Our sound engineer, Damien, was such a driving force of inspiration during the recording and mixing process. We’re a better band because of him. I also was inspired by Bright Eyes’s Road To Joy.
 
What’s your favourite song on it?
Both Alone is my favourite track on the EP. I love how it builds from a simple progression of notes.
 
We’ll like this EP if we like...
Road trips, folk songs, summer time, leaving home, mandolin, violin, Bright Eyes, the Australian accent, honesty, Noah & The Whale, female harmonies and driving bass lines.
