The Targeted project
Targeted is a no-budget independent western film that Jak and company made. In addition to the already released movie and soundtrack, it will have numerous other tie-ins including a video game and humorous novelizations! Here you'll find information and regular updates on the progress of the project.

Four albums
The next Jak Is A Four Letter Word volume is currently being recorded. Among the finished tracks are "Next Day Comes Hard", "Fever Dream", "/ Glut / Rut / Cut / Shut /" and "It's Still Too Early To Deal With Last Night".


An acoustic album with a mix of minimalist vocal-driven songs and lush, thickly orchestrated low-key numbers is currently being recorded. Songs include "Ascent", "Iso", "Broken Joe", "Midnight Was Always Too Early", and "Afterword".


Also in the works is a collection of songs with a vaudevillian flare, many of them composed by Jak for burlesque and variety performers over the years. Songs on this one include "Cirrhosis", "Pastel Currency", "Raffle Song", "Glass Medusa" and "Narcissus Stomp".


The follow-up to 2014's rock album "Action Packed Self-Destruction" is being written and recorded. Planned tracks include "Earworm", "Some Kind Of Beautiful Racket", and "Cyanide".

Remastered releases
Releases and demos spanning from 1997 to 2002 are currently being remixed and remastered for reissuing as the original master tracks are located, organized and cleaned up.
