Jacques Labouchere – Something Like New Place from Mr Tim on Vimeo.
Bi-polar Baby Strollers
I wrote about my friend Jacques Labouchere and his music about a year ago. Since then, Jacques has been progressing steadily and has just released a new album! I got to experience this album to the fullest and really enjoyed it. His melodies and equally sweet lyrics are moving as well as fun.
Here’s a sneak peek.
“Bi-polar Baby Strollers” will be released June 7th through Popjinx Records (UK) www.popjinx.com. Go to Jacques Myspace for more music.

Listen to ‘Esperanza’ Demo * Listen to ‘Song for Anne’ Demo
As long as I’ve known Jacques, he’s been playing his guitar and writing music…and that’s since freshman year in high school….(man, time flies)… And here is is today, rockin’ the Gothenburg music scene, living the dream and loving it. It’s nice to know that people you meet throughout life are doing what they love.

I remember Jacques having great taste in music. I still have some of the mixtapes he made back in ’93, which included music by radiohead, the beatles, dinosaur Jr., talking heads, morrissey… His tapes are still floating around in my sisters vw and I still listen to them today.
Jacques songs are sweet, upbeat and rich with melodies. I would love to see his band live. They are finishing up his latest record and will be playing festivals soon (hopefully by spring) . For more songs, info on his upcoming album and shows go to his myspace music page.

ps: One of the things I feel make a band stand out are their posters and flyers. Here are 2 examples of them, done by Jacques’ good friend Hanna. She is a multi-talented girl, with a band of her own, as well as being an artist and photographer. love her work.
