Interview: Jack Ladder
May the fourth: if you’re a nerd-nerd it means something about Star Wars or some shit (I dunno, I’ve only seen ‘Episode 1’ and didn’t care for it – I don’t get the whole hoo-ha TBH) but if you’re a music-nerd then this year the date signifies the release of Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders’ fifth album – Blue Poles. Jack Ladder (né Tim Rogers) has climbed his way through many different sounds since his first album and has come a long way to (dream) land at this point with his observational yet darkly poetic music. This is arguably his best album yet and we had the chance of catching up with him this week ahead of its release on May 4.
