About J.J. Ipsen
(from his myspace page): J.J. Ipsen is a pretty simple guy. He uses what’s around him to create achingly catchy folk-torch pop diamonds-in-the-rough. “J.J. Ipsen’s Laundry” contains eight of these diamonds, inspired by books, film, love, friends and Labatt 50. Written in greenhouses, music shops, bedrooms and car seats, they’re your favourite shirt, your beaten-up jeans and your reliable sweater. “J.J. Ipsen’s Laundry” was made possible with the cooperation of many of Ipsen’s pals. Most of the players hail from Woodstock, ON and also play in many other musical ensembles. Roped into helping were co-producer and engineer in chief Justin Nace, Michael Christoff, and Aaron Curtis (Two-Minute Miracles, Andy Swan) AJ Johnson, Dustin Seabrook and Thom Hammerton to complete this collection of recordings. Drawing on influences like Rufus Wainwright, Wilco and Brian Wilson, Ipsen writes songs that reflect a high degree of musicality and lyrics that are both thoughtful and insightful. With a strong background in English literature and music, J.J. and friends are currently hashing out new material for a full length recording and tour later this year. A fresh, comfortable and honest new voice in Toronto’s bustling music scene, “J.J. Ipsen’s Laundry” isn’t the second coming, it’s just a small collection of clever songs from the heart. Other people say this: There’s something very rewarding about doing the laundry; the sorting, the waiting, the folding and the sense of satisfaction at the very end. You will note a similar feeling upon listening to Toronto singer-songwriter, wordsmith and poet J.J. Ipsen’s debut EP, “J.J. Ipsen’s Laundry”. Over the course of eight well-crafted songs, Ipsen airs out his dirty laundry and lets it hang out to dry for all to bear witness. There are stains, patches, wear and tears that all tell their own enduring story. Phil Villeneuve (of Chart Magazine) Ipsen's music encompasses everything from folk, to jazz, to rock with arrangements that can only please the ear. What is evident in all the tracks, is Ipsen's comfortable and confident harmonies. With the help of veteran musicians and a talented producer Justin Nace (of The Two Minute Miracles) Ipsen successfully completed a wonderful preview to a what I hope will be a fruitful career. Having personally seen J.J. reduce his audience to a puddle of tears more than once, it's easy to say that he shoots from the heart. http://bridgingtheatlantic.blogspot.com J.J.
