Album Bio:
In 2001, Jack Johnson and The Malloys released the award winning surf
film “Thicker Than Water”.
The film soon became an instant classic in the surf world.
A year later, the accompanying soundtrack was released on Brushfire
Records which featured new tracks from Jack Johnson along with several
other artists,marking the first of a collection of soundtracks that
have redefined the musical experience within the surf genre. In the
last five years Brushfire Records and Woodshed Films have continued to
put out award winning surf films including Jack Johnson’s “September
Sessions”, Chris Malloy’s “Shelter” and most recently
world famous artist/filmmaker Thomas Campbell’s “Sprout” along with
accompanying original soundtracks.
Brushfire and Woodshed Films stay true to the roots of surf filmmaking
with their fourth and latest project, “A Brokedown Melody”. Originally
released to the core surf market in 2005, “A Brokedown Melody” is
scheduled for a wider release this November along with the original
soundtrack from Brushfire Records.
In the spirit of the traditional surf film format, “A Brokedown
Melody” tells the story of the surfer’s journey by combining surfing
footage, music and commentary and weaving it together with colorful
imagery collected from destinations around the globe. Featured is the
surfing of Jack Johnson, Kelly Slater, Tom Curren, Gerry Lopez, the
Malloys, Rob Machado, CJ Hobgood, and others.
The soundtrack, which will be released in November on Jack Johnson’s
label, Brushfire Records, will include 2 new tracks from Johnson as
well as an acoustic version of the track “Breakdown”. The original
version of this track was included on his multi-platinum release “In
Between Dreams” and was written while traveling to Chile to surf with
his childhood hero Gerry Lopez for the film.
In addition to the unreleased material from Jack Johnson, an eclectic
lineup of musicians was enlisted to provide a narrative for the visual
journey that takes the viewer from Jamaica, to the outer Islands of
Indonesia, to deep Mexico and all the way down to the bottom of Chile.
Highlights include an unreleased stripped down song by Eddie Vedder,
new music from Matt Costa and tracks from Kings of Convenience, The
Beta Band, M. Ward, Doug Martsch and many others.
