Jack Lillian is a musician from California in the USA and Weeping Willow is her latest single, released on 22/04/2023. Playing “emotional stoner rock” this lady is taking all the bad labels that have ever been stuck on her and using them to fuel her psych-filled desert grunge rock sound. And boy is she doing a great job of it!

Weeping Willow is a fuzzed-out stoner rock, with elements of grunge and alternative rock thrown in for good measure. There are also some psychedelia influences in there too and this all makes for an interesting sound that is not only genre-bending but truly unique to her.

The guitars are loud with heavy riffs and distortion plays a huge part in the fuzzy sound that they emit. Even the solos are distorted, and this creates a great atmosphere to the song. The drumming is energetic and meaty and mixed with heavy basslines that also have that distorted sound the track has a very nostalgic feel to it as it nods back to the alternative and grunge sound of the 90’s.

Jack’s vocals are superb on this track. Her voice is strong and powerful, and she commands the song from start to finish. She has the perfect vocal range for this type of track and even the slight distortion on her vocals adds to the overall sound. The layered backups add a great depth and dynamism to the track and the harmonies work so well.

This is a great track that is raw and in your face, full of attitude and anthemic. The choruses are big and will definitely stick in your head long after you have finished listening to them.

I loved this track from the moment it started, and I think fans of all genres will too. Go and check out Jack Lillian and her music, I know you won’t be disappointed.
