Jack M. Senff Shares Second Single & Announces Debut Album
By: Tori Hartshorn Jul. 15, 2019
Jack M. Senff has been kicking around DIY circles for years now, but this marks the first time he's released music under his own name. It's also a radical departure sonically, shedding some of the noise of his past projects, and really honing in on simple arrangements that compliment his storytelling.
Last week, we shared the second single from, and announced pre-orders for the forthcomingGood to Know You. EARMILK ran the premiere for "Full Decay", a patient, blossoming song and highlight from the album. Lead single "Old Days" is the "Chris Staples" song on the album, a driving earworm of a track about the fall out of moving on.
Good to Know You is a collection of songs and stories that deal with the shifting, fickle nature of time and how it stands to inform identity. Casting backwards and forwards, Northern Michigan songwriter Jack M. Senff weaves together small moments of his life in an attempt to examine and explore the greater themes of love and loss, family, change.

Having taken a year away to appraise and reassess, Senff sheds the Boy Rex name in favor of his own. After several albums chasing a certain sound, a specific color, Good to Know You shifts the palette to something softer, quieter, and perhaps that much truer to the integrity of his work. Self-recorded in various bedrooms and living rooms, this album hopes to capture all the warmth and intimacy his songs have to offer.
