My Guardian Angel

Description

Jakob Armstrong – youngest son of Green Day frontman Billie Joe – began playing guitar at seven years old and honed his craft privately until about sixteen. Soon enough, he and a group of friends formed Ultra Q. Ultra Q’s earlier work marked the synthesis of a songwriter’s vision and his band’s ability, forged through an invisible existential threat and an everchanging world, eager to show what they’ve found while we were all inside. But ‘My Guardian Angel’ soars to heights unimaginable for us lowly, earthbound beings. Produced by Chris Coady, who has helmed classics by the likes of TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Beach House, ‘My Guardian Angel’ offers a deep sonic palette to match Armstrong’s artistic ambition. Wildly vacillating between widescreen pop-punk (‘Klepto,’ the impeccably titled ‘VR Sex’), romantic newwave (‘Rocket,’ ‘I Wanna Lose’), and shimmering synth-pop (‘I Watched Them Go’), the album displays Armstrong’s songwriting talents-along with the musicianship of Kevin Judd and brothers Chris and Enzo Malaspina-conceived and recorded for maximum impact.
