Jackson + Sellers have released their new single ‘Hush’ premiered exclusively through Flood Magazine. The new track is taken from their forthcoming album – Breaking Point – released via Anti-Records on 22nd October.
Today, Jackson+Sellers debut their new song “Hush,” a slow burning single from their forthcoming debut album, Breaking Point, which will be released on October 22 via ANTI- records and is available to pre-order, here. The song premiered with FLOOD MAGAZINE who described “Hush” as playing, “like a twangier Marissa Nadler or Azure Ray, with a gothic shadow hanging over the track’s subtle folk melodies. True to its subject matter, the haunting guitars accompany a story of thorny romance.” The track continues the trajectory of the duo as one to watch in the industry.
“Hush,” which shares a warning about bad love, was written by Jade Jackson, not long after she first met Aubrie Sellers when she opened for her at a Nashville show. Formed during the pandemic after Jackson approached Sellers via a social media DM, the creative partnership quickly blossomed into a full duo project with Sellers and Jackson, fuelled by their desire to write a record that reflected their expansive musical interests. “Just being yourself in this industry can be considered inflammatory,” Sellers said, adding, “I wanted to push even further into the rock & roll sound I’ve been on the edge of for my last two solo albums.”
Jackson instantly envisioned Seller’s voice as providing the perfect harmony for her new song “Hush.” Discussing the track and origins of the collaboration, Jackson said, “I really loved her voice and asked if she’d be interested in doing a co-write / duet.” She added, “I wasn’t expecting a response but moments after I sent the message, she responded with she’d love to. I knew the song would benefit from heavy female vocal harmonies but working with Aubrie was such a boost. Collaborating with someone who’s so energetically strong, it gives you even more creativity and license to explore.”
Jackson+Sellers’ L.A.-written, Nashville-recorded album is a masterclass in unexpected vocal harmonic convergence, soundtracked by raw guitars, driving drums and a singular Americana sound that weaves a sonic thread between 70s rock, 90s raucous roots, and modern indie pop. They exchanged lead vocals, reflecting on their own experiences of vulnerability, isolation, sensitivity and autonomy. They drew on changes in their personal relationships, intuitively capturing each other’s personal experiences, often before they had even discussed them with each other.
Recorded at The Cabin studio in East Nashville in late 2020, Breaking Point was co-produced by Sellers and Ethan Ballinger, with Jackson and Sellers contributing three tracks each and co-writing “Wound Up” with Ballinger. In addition to their own material, they selected deep-cut covers including their first single, a reimagination of Julie Miller’s blistering “The Devil Is an Angel.” They also recorded genre bending interpretations of Suzi Quatro’s defiant “The Wild One,” and Shannon Wright’s raucous “Has Been.”
With Breaking Point, Jackson+Sellers establish themselves as two powerful individual artists who have together created one of the most compelling duo albums of the last decade.
Jackson+Sellers will be performing on September 23, 2021 at Cannery Ballroom in Nashville for Americanafest.
