Notable Southern California bred multi-instrumentalist and FU MANCHU drummer Scott Reeder has taken the plunge into solo waters with his new project JACKET THIEF.
The revered musician’s upcoming debut album, “Lights Out On The Shore,” was born out of studio sessions with Grammy Award winning producer/engineer Ryan Mall (Dropkick Murphys, Old Crow Medicine Show, Gaslight Anthem), where Reeder cultivated his vision, bringing together his desert rock roots with melodic, acoustic, psychedelic and heartland rock influences. “Lights Out On The Shore,” will be released on September 29th on his own TripKey Records.
Commenting on the record, Reeder says:
“This is a record that I wanted to do for a long while, and then different circumstances conspired so that it was more like I had to do it, I couldn’t wait any longer.“
JACKET THIEF’s debut is a melodic and soulful rock album with an engaging flow throughout, from the heavy crash of “Some Kind Of Murder” and “ A Stitch In Time,” to the leaden throb of “Daylight Apparitions” and the drop-tuned drone of the title track “Lights Out On The Shore.”

Reeder has now released the first taste of JACKET THIEF’s “Lights Out On The Shore,” with the single “TLFN.”
Adding about the song, Reeder states:
“‘TLFN’ is a song co written by friend and singer songwriter Micheal Rosas. It’s been around for a while in different guises. It has a bit of a heavy strut to it and the lyrics remain pretty much to the point…’is this what I think it is..or is it something else?’ In this case, it’s straight forward 4 on the floor rock-n roll with a blistering fuzzed out solo from Bob Balch.“
