“It’s smooth and cool in it’s delivery with fuzzy guitars and thumping drums. You’re instantly taken to a wild west kind of a vibe when pressing play on this one.” (Danger In Me – AAA Backstage)
“It’s like a wild-west psych-rock track. The gloomy, mind-bending number features the organ; layers of smooth, clean guitar licks over guitar stabs; and a menacing, low-pitched vocal performance from Jake Johnson that’s caked in a gritty distortion.” (Seventh Fever Of The Mind – Aus Music Scene)
“Guitar tones generate goosebumps and Jake’s vocals linger with a purpose to draw you down a path to epic rock hangs.” (EP/1 – Scenestr)
“From intimate stories of mental health to escapism, EP/1 not only reveals Jake’s talent to craft raw, visceral sounds – but his own daring personality to share his most vulnerable moments.” (Au Pium)

Following the release of his debut EP EP/1 in 2021, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Jake T Johnson’s project Burning Jacobs Ladder release the long-anticipated single ‘Fickle Bones’ on April 28.
Hailing from the Gold Coast, swinging dark Spaghetti Western melodies infused with hauntingly passionate vocals of Jake, ‘Fickle Bones’ is an eerily familiar track. The unwavering rumble of drums, soaring guitar licks and a looming chorus of vocals hang in the air.
Stripped to raw reality and bare bones, Jake’s authentically emotional storytelling surpasses his lyricism as ‘Fickle Bones’ sounds unearthly. Winding through the single, each component brews, creating an all-encompassing tale between a young man and child.
Throughout his catalogue, Burning Jacobs Ladder delves into very personal discussions about mental health, escapism, and anxiety and ‘Fickle Bones’ is no exception. Regarding the single, Jake states: “It’s the emotional burden people carry on their shoulders from past experiences. It’s becoming numb to extremes, emotional detachment and living a life for someone else when they can’t.”
Widely received by the likes of The Music, Scenestr, AAA Backstage and The Live Wire to name a few, the experimental powerhouse has put in the work. Written, performed, mixed, and mastered entirely by himself, Jake’s project Burning Jacobs Ladder shows his immense talent and wide skillset as a recording engineer and singer-songwriter.
Fall into the ether with Burning Jacobs Ladder’s ‘Fickle Bones’ on Friday, April 28.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
