FLINT EASTWOOD ANNOUNCES NEW EP SMALL VICTORIES OUT OCT 9

Today, Detroit-based Flint Eastwood announces Small Victories, their brand new EP and follow-up to 2013’s now sold out EP Late Nights In Bolo Ties. Flint Eastwood is the evolution of the creative side of multi-talented artist, Jax Anderson. On the forthcoming EP, out October 9, Jax has returned to her Detroit roots, mixing a taste of the theatricality of Motown, her more recently found love for pop music, and a few electronic beats for good measure.  The result is six hook-filled songs, including the first track and single “Find What You’re Looking for.” Full tracklisting and EP artwork is below.

Small Victories was crafted and polished at Assemble Sound, a hub of creativity in Detroit’s Corktown, located in the 2^nd oldest church in the city. The property was purchased by a group of artists including Jax’s brother Seth. In this crumbling and inspiring location, the new EP was created as a coping mechanism to help Jax deal with the loss of her mother, who was her biggest fan and inspiration. As the listener makes their way through the EP, they experience Jax making her way through her mother’s illness and passing, railing against it, then dealing with the feelings associated with such a loss, eventually accepting it and using it as driving force to continue to create.

Jax broke the EP down in one simple thought: “Small Victories comes from the idea that doing anything creative in life takes a lot of persistence, struggle, and hustle.  It’s easy to expect that the spoils will come easily and be immediately fruitful.  But if you focus on the little things, the ‘small victories’, you realize that it’s those things that are the most rewarding.  That’s what keeps me going.”
