Ultra Q - My Guardian Angel

Ultra Q - My Guardian Angel

One of the most fascinating things a music lover can do is witness the growth of a
young artist. It starts as an inkling or a glimmer of natural talent and expands into
something vast and formidable. Jakob Armstrong—youngest son of Green Day
frontman Billie Joe—began playing guitar at seven years old and honed his craft
privately until about sixteen, then playing in bands in and around Oakland after
meeting friends with like-minded tastes in music. Soon enough, with the memories of
Ultraman action figures fighting in his head, he and a group of friends he cultivated
from those years playing around and pouring over records, formed Ultra Q. Its name
is inspired by an Ultraman prequel series; a deep cut for import action series lovers.
Ultra Q’s earlier work marked the synthesis of a songwriter’s vision and his band’s
ability, forged through an invisible existential threat and an everchanging world,
eager to show what they’ve found while we were all inside. But new album My
Guardian Angel soars to heights unimaginable for us lowly, earthbound beings.
Produced by Chris Coady, who has helmed classics by the likes of TV on the Radio,
Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Beach House, My Guardian Angel offers a deep sonic
palette to match Armstrong’s artistic ambition. Wildly vacillating between widescreen
pop-punk (“Klepto,” the impeccably titled “VR Sex”), romantic newwave (“Rocket,” “I
Wanna Lose”), and shimmering synth-pop (“I Watched Them Go”), the album
displays Armstrong’s songwriting talents—along with the musicianship of Kevin Judd
and brothers Chris and Enzo Malaspina—conceived and recorded for maximum
impact.
