Jesse Malin Artist Snapshot:

After stints in the 1980s and `90s with hardcore bands and the glam-punk revival act D Generation, Jesse Malin found his true calling in the 2000s with a series of genre-bending solo efforts that found an urban toughness in roots-rock. Garnering critical accolades and the high-profile endorsements of both Ryan Adams and Lucinda Williams, the native New Yorker fused the catchy grit of Tom Petty, the vulnerability of Neil Young, and the street romanticism of Bruce Springsteen in one undeniably accomplished body of work.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.122) - 4 stars out of 5 - "THE HEAT is liberation time: sharply drawn slices of naked-city life, rich in scarred guitars and made vivid and personal by Malin's cutting East Village-barfly yowl."
Uncut (p.114) - 5 stars out of 5 - "THE HEAT is all genuine passion, brimming with energy, anger and great tunes sandwiched between the dense guitars."
Uncut (p.76) - Ranked #31 in Uncut's "Best New Albums of 2004" - "Great tunes wrapped in dense guitars and delivered with tremendous passion, energy and righteous anger."
Magnet (p.100) - "[I]t's hard to ignore that everything Malin touches is resplendent."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.118) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Perpetually mysterious and grieving, THE HEAT walks a thin line between epic classicism and intimate sorrow..."

Recording information: Stratosphere, New York, NY (2004).

Born in the New York City borough of Queens and a longtime resident of the East Village, former D Generation frontman Jesse Malin has quietly slipped into the role of Big Apple bard. Starting with his 2002 solo debut, THE FINE ART OF SELF-DESTRUCTION, Malin cast himself as a latter-day Lou Reed. Two years on, follow-up THE HEAT features guest appearances by Ryan Adams, ex-Replacement Tommy Stinson, Pete Yorn, and Fountains of Wayne's Jody Porter. However, these guests don't distract from Malin or his tunes, as this punk-loving singer/songwriter's compositional prowess more than carries the record. Having written most of this album on the road, Malin uses the perspective of an outsider looking in to inform this batch of Manhattan-centric songs. The Byrds-flavored "Mona Lisa" finds cross-dressers and dope-dealers scrambling to survive in post-9/11 New York, while the losing gamblers and fame-starved teens of the John Lennon-influenced "God's Lonely People" find failure on the Left Coast. With THE HEAT, Jesse Malin has cemented his place in the NYC rock pantheon.
