“Uncertain time / Uncertain mind / Been living behind your shadow / Rain or shine / Butterflies in the wind / Stars in the night coming out again.” The tones he achieves with it are the audio equivalent of lightning in a hurricane. Timed out with his first loud sounds on guitar, Cook’s words hit the wall like daggers: “Operator / Communicator / Call me on my cell phone / Cabin Fever / Gonna need ya / Keep it on the down low.” The video cuts to close-ups of that familiar fire in his gaze as he advises, “Close your eyes / Stay inside / Try and picture a rainbow.” It looks like he’s wielding a vintage Gibson Firebird (keep me honest, gear experts), and you can see a wolf sketched on the pickguard at the 00:48 mark. As one Jordan drums and bangs his head, another Jordan readies his guitar and mic the footage is spliced together so quickly, it almost looks like he’s formed a two-man band with his clone. We can see him rocking back and forth in a frenetic mood behind the set, just before he breaks out a beat that is both barbaric and scrupulous. Light slowly pours into the space as his garage door rises, illuminating drums, cords, and a grimy puddle. He stops and faces the camera with a wild expression – one that, coming from Cook, usually signals imminent shredding. “…Stars in the night coming out again / I go insane / Insane, insane, insane / Wait for tomorrow to be yesterday…” he sings softly, simultaneously shaving the side of his head. I don’t know when we’ll hit the road again, but here’s a little something for our friends with cabin fever.”Īs a barefoot wölf steps into the frame, you can hear the last line of the song that hasn’t begun yet perhaps a subtle nod to how time feels so circuitous when trapped inside. There’s a lot of tension out there and that’s baked right into the song. It has this vibe that made it different from anything I’d ever done. It felt like old times when I used to record in my bedroom before I’d ever gone into a studio. I dusted off the 4-track, set up a single mic in the garage and went to work. “The song came together quickly and I didn’t want to wait to record it so I used what was available. In the press release, which reassuringly noted that he’s “holed up in his home,” Cook detailed his process. His restlessness is palpable as he tears up the confined space, yielding a hard-edged rock song that captures the vibe of our current reality. A 4-track cassette recorder and one mic is kinda you get what you get…” Truthfully, the entire song was like that. Recording on my 4-track cassette deck with one mic felt like a mission – it came together really quickly.” When we acknowledged the song’s killer guitar part, he revealed, “That was on the first take, so I ran with it. “Setting up in the garage was like my only escape from the other parts of my house. “The thought of the unknown kinda sparked it all,” Cook told P&W. It even comes with a gritty black-and-white video shot in the same small space, where we find Cook drumming, singing, and digging into his guitar strings destructively. Yesterday, Reignwolf released an addictive new song called “Cabin Fever,” which he recorded in his garage with one mic and a 4-track during quarantine.
CABIN FEVER PANCAKES HOW TO
As we figure out how to cope with the fact that 2020 blows and live music is not in the cards anytime soon, we got the only consolation prize that could make things better right now.
We said we couldn’t wait for more – but now we have to. Jordan Cook ’s endless supply of pure-rock energy seemed to foreshadow the tour dates on the horizon (Reignwolf would have played the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville tonight). The decade started in the middle of their searing set, fans tangled in a gregarious knot around the band on the floor. 2020 seemed pretty damn good at first, back when Reignwolf were playing one of their longest shows ever in New York to ring in the new year.
