The Outer Marker

Just Jack

Gritty, sample-heavy vignettes of London life. A skeletal blend of UK garage and trip-hop that feels like a cold walk home in the rain.

It's like The Streets but for the comedown instead of the pre-game.

A quiet, urban loneliness that finds beauty in the mundane details of daily life.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The brittle, skittering garage beat on 'Paradise (Lost & Found)' that feels like a nervous heartbeat.
The way the acoustic guitar loop on 'Snapshot Memories' creates a sense of frozen time.
The stark, vulnerable honesty in the delivery of the opening track's spoken intro.
