“Scott Reeder (Fu Manchu, Smile) presents the sounds of Jacket Thief with the first album »Lights Out On The Shore«. Singing and playing all the instruments with help on lead guitars from Bob Balch (Fu Manchu, Sun And Sail Club) and Mitchell Townsend (Matt Costa, Jack Johnson) songs with heavy rhythms and rich melodies create a complete album experience.”

Started in the Winter of 2021 and completed in early 2023, »Lights Out On The Shore« is a 12 song cycle written and performed by Scott Reeder, drummer of the band Fu Manchu. Having treaded many stages and studios over the past 22 years laying the foundation for the titans of “fuzz-wah” rock over 5 studio releases and playing live with artists as varied as Orianthi and Social Distortion, Scott has stretched into a melodic heavy and lyrically dense area of songwriting, rich in harmony and memorable riffs.

Collaborating with Grammy winning producer/engineer Ryan Mall (Dropkick Murphys, Old Crow Medicine Show, Gaslight Anthem), Reeder played all the instruments on the album and sings all vocals. Fu Manchu bandmate, Bob Balch, contributes lead guitars on all tracks except »Everything But Right« and the album closer, »As She Drifts«, which feature contributions from Mitchell Townsend (Matt Costa, Jack Johnson).

This limited edition 50 unit US LP run is pressed on blue/black splatter and includes a full color insert featuring photos taken by Reeder himself. All tracks were mastered specifically for this vinyl release.
