Jack Johnson — All The Light Above It Too

Limited Edition on Translucent Blue Swirl Johnson’s 2017 release, was his seventh studio album, All The Light Above It Too. The idea of the title of the album came from the first song that was recorded on the album, called “Subplots.” Johnson says that there is so much trouble in the world now with pollution and how a reality tv host became the president of the US, but that there is a beautiful world to appreciate. He decided to name the album All The Light Above It Too because it refers to the sun and how it shines in all directions during the day. Few of the songs went through post-production, which means that most of the songs are pure. The album cover was shot on a beach of the windward side of the Hawaiian Islands where North Pacific Gyre carries a lot of plastic onto the beach. All of the plastic used was found on the beach within a 90-meter radius, and found within one hour. The plastic found was featured in the “You Can’t Control It” music video. Charities such as 5 Gyres and the Bahamas Plastic Movement helped collect plastic from the cover. Johnson stated that when he shot the album cover for the first time he did not see that being the cover for the next album. He originally had planned for it to just be a fun project to promote awareness of plastic pollution. Released: 9/8/17
