Born 4, the follow up to 2004’s It Dreams, isn’t here to waste anyone’s time. With Dave ‘Rave’ Ogilvie (Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, David Bowie) once again at the helm of the project, Jakalope returned to the scene of the crime, recording Born 4 at Vancouver’s famed Warehouse Studio. NIN god Trent Reznor signed on as associate producer without question. Ogilvie and Phil Caivano (Blitzspeer, Monster Magnet) locked themselves away to create the music, coming together with Katie B for the lyrics and melodies. A star in her own right, Katie B, plants herself firmly at center stage as the front woman of Jakalope. There’s nothing small town about this Airdrie, Alberta native who was discovered by Ogilvie when she took a job at Warehouse Studios in the summer of 2001. She’s come into her own and marked her territory as one of this country’s most engaging performers. There’s an evolution in her songwriting and her collaboration with Caivano and Ogilvie that’s evident from your very first listen.
