Jean Dawson announces new album CHAOS NOW* out October 7 + shares ‘THREE HEADS*’
PRAISE FOR Jean Dawson
“[Jean Dawson] is one of my favourite, new discoveries of the past year”
“He just makes the music he wants to see in the world, for people like him: the outsiders, the latchkey kids, the non-conformists”
“Jean Dawson is having the most fun with his music. His blend of pop melodies and hip-hop production is perfect for 2020”
“Jean Dawson is a rare artistic breed”
“Dawson’s debut sounds like one of the most sophisticated DIY art projects of the year. We’re so used to genre-blending that almost nothing surprises anymore, but Dawson pulls off something unexpected in every song”
“Dawson blends distorted guitars with vintage drum machine sounds, switching between singing, chanting, and rapping. Listening to it feels more like flipping through different radio stations rather than one distinct project—it’s sometimes pop, sometimes punk, sometimes hip-hop”
“Raised on the cultural border between Mexico and the US, his vibrant approach to music-making isn’t about bending genres for the heck of it, but about being honest to himself and the group of outsiders drawn to his creative expression”
“Avant-garde, theatrical, and high-conceptual aesthetics”
“Jean Dawson really kicks down any wall of any box he’s put in, there is no way of knowing quite what is next to come”
‘THREE HEADS*’ is out now, buy/stream it here.

By providing a space that is open and fluid, listeners are able to exist sans labels, binaries and expectations, and ultimately find belonging for many.Directed by Bradley J. Calder, the high velocity visual showcases Jean’s incredible range sonically and personally, setting the tone for his new body of work. CHAOS NOW* is set to cement Jean as one of today’s most revered artists and one of tomorrow’s greats.
In addition, Jean will be kicking off his debut headlining US CHAOS NOW* tour on October 16 in San Diego through November 17 in Los Angeles. The LA-based duo Junior Varsity will be joining Jean on tour as openers. More ticket information can be found HERE.
