Raw Deal, the debut album from Chicago musician Jack Riedy (pronounced "ree-dee"), builds from guitar-buzz to include sub bass synths, breakbeats, and live horns, sometimes within the same song, inspired by the anything-goes sonics of alternative music past. Call it remix rock.
“I write songs about the little things: love, sex, work, and death,” Jack says. “The album is about the fear that market logic has turned even our relationships into transactions,” he says. “And worse still, that I might be getting ripped off.”
