Who is Jackie Lynn? Let me assure you that a casual Google search won’t do you any good here, and that we might be in a situation mirroring the obviousness of Clark Kent being Superman’s alter ego, where somehow Kent’s co-workers at The Daily Planet don’t suspect a thing. Taking their obliviousness as a lesson in judging current mysteries, maybe we should consider available evidence when this new “Jackie Lynn” release is presented by Circuit Des Yeux a.k.a. Haley Fohr, and when the accompanying trailer (watchable below) features a curiously disguised woman strumming a guitar. Are we prepared to come right out and say it? What would such a revelation mean for the future of Metropo… I mean, Chicago?
Chicago’s the city that Fohr and Jackie Lynn have in a common, and as it relates to the latter, there’s a whole background story on her notorious escapades as a drug dealer in the city’s South Side. Read the entirety of that story below, and note that the self-titled Jackie Lynn album will be released June 10 via Thrill Jockey (and only on vinyl).
Julia Holter might want to lawyer up in preparation for accomplice accusations:
Jackie Lynn was born in Franklin, TN on June 1st, 1990: “I’ve always been the source of action. My mom didn’t even make it to the hospital before I decided to come into this world. She had to lie right down on the sidewalk in front of Rolling Hills Hospital as doctors hovered around to help. It was storming that morning, and right as I was coming into the world a bolt of lighting fell from the sky, striking my mother right in the belly. They say I shot out of her like a bullet from a gun, right into oncoming traffic.”
Jackie, now a 25-year-old Gemini residing somewhere unknown, has mysteriously disappeared after leaving a chronological musical artifact that the city of Chicago is now using to try to trace her whereabouts.
This is what we know: Born and raised in Franklin, TN, in May of 2010, Jackie took a Greyhound bus from Franklin, TN to Chicago, IL. Upon her arrival in the city of Chicago, Jackie found a cheap sublet on the south side of Chicago. She soon became acquainted with Tom Strong (real name unknown) on a short CTA bus trip to the Chicago Loop. We believe that Tom & Jackie together ran a multimillion dollar business distributing the illegal substance of cocaine around Chicago & the Chicago tristate area for over four years. Authorities believe that a local automobile shop was used as the main distributions headquarter.
Over the years, Tom & Jackie have become well known for their large and lavish parties thrown at an apartment located on Sacramento & 26th street. Police have been hot on their trail, but have found no probable cause to make an arrest. A domestic dispute was reported on February 18th of 2015. When police arrived, the apartment was found deserted. Traces of cocaine were found on a red and gold LP jacket with the following recording enclosed.
