A suave, grooving success from Mike Stewart Theory, “Jet Set Trash” melds bluesy guitar tones and a debonair vocal drive with memorable success. Maintaining a head-nodding charm despite a subdued entrancement, “Jet Set Trash” lyrically refers to “every destination, LA connects,” in a particularly catchy refrain, punctuated by twangy guitar licks that further the soulful intrigue.
The project is helmed by Michael Ivan Stewart, whose noted production work has achieved over 50 million streams — and includes work with acts like The Wild Seeds, Calvin Russell, Deadmilkmen, and a platinum record with Danish artist Poul Krebs.
“Jet Set Trash” excels with a more no-frills captivation, musing “all the kids are so tan,” in its visions of summertime locales; these beach-time imageries pair fittingly with a hazy mixture of guitars and steady percussion — while the main title-based repetition exudes a hypnotic envelopment that induces replays. “Jet Set Trash” is a memorable, catchy success from Mike Stewart Theory.
