Tessa Rose Jackson

“Hell or High Water”
(💥whole video up on Youtube, link in bio💥)

Change is a compass.

Two old friends, separated by the Atlantic for the larger part of adulthood, and a grandiose conversation about growing older. When we were teenagers, studying at the BRIT School in London, we spent every minute together in the studio or on stage, with absolute unwavering confidence in our teenage vision and a fervorous commitment to doing things our way. In the years since, Ben has moved to Canada, Tessa stayed in London and Amsterdam and our music-making days became limited, but on the cherished occasions that we can get together a trusted muscle is flexed. Except these days, a more mellow approach wins out.

Let the current carve, score out the fringe of your silhouette.

Fervour gives way to flow, stubbornness gives way to shared goals, and the agitated music-making of our youth gives way to an 8hr jet-lagged basement studio session that forged this song almost whole cloth.

How could you know what you came here for?

We decided to record a simple live version. Recorded half in Calgary, half in Amsterdam. Half at night, half in the afternoon. Half for your enjoyment, half for ours.
