Jason McCue

Biography

Seattle indie-folk artist Jason McCue released his “APOCALYPSE EP” just months into the 2020 pandemic.
“The bulk of APOCALYPSE views the current global crisis through a lens of skeptical optimism. McCue’s signature finger-picked guitar intricacies and gentle whisper-sung vocals put aside his personal anxieties to reflect on the world and others.

Although written and recorded before the murder of George Floyd and the current movement for Black lives, APOCALYPSE relishes in the free time awarded to some in quarantine, which must now be used to pause and think critically. This is a time to be utilized by White listeners, musicians (and writers such as myself) to learn, practice and take action on anti-racist work.

At the end of the track “Staying Inside,” McCue sings, “No, I don’t think that things will be the same,” from a place of hesitation. However, upon release the line should be interpreted more as a promise – to emerge in a COVID-free future as better human beings.” – NadaMucho
