Joe Jack Talcum Jubilates on "Over the Moon"


Philly folk punker Joe Jack Talcum (member of Dead Milkmen) performs Narcan benefit before touring in support of new EP Over the Moon.


Over the Moon kicks off with dark folk song "All Fall Down". Talcum swoons the listener with his enthrallingly melodic approach on guitar. "Anxiety" nips on its heels with its surfy folk punk vibes. The poppy bass swaggers along to the tremolo of the guitar while sprinkling some stirring guitar solos throughout. 

Talcum follows this up with bluesy folk rocker "Angelo". The drums propel through while the keys entice with some soothing harmonica and keyboard solos scattered amidst. Eponymous with the album is blues folk tune "Over the Moon", which definitely feels like a representative track here. The guitar is spellbinding, accompanied by fluttering harmonica, alongside Talcum's wavering yet unwaveringly anchored vocals. Over the Moon is a sensational romp into some candid territory despite maintaining the whimsical nature of Joe Jack Talcum.
