All The Light Above It Too (LP, 2017 Limited Edition Blue Vinyl)

This 2017 Limited Edition LP is pressed on Blue vinyl.

Jack Johnson’s seventh studio album, All the Light Above It Too, released on September 8, 2017, is a serene yet thought-provoking surf-rock journey that blends gentle melodies with reflective lyrics. Produced under his own label, JJ/All the Light Above It Too, the album spans 38 minutes across 10 tracks, each offering a snapshot of Johnson’s signature acoustic warmth and laid-back vibe.

The lead single, "My Mind Is for Sale," sets the tone with its politically charged yet melodic edge, while standout tracks like "Big Sur" and "Love Song #16" showcase Johnson’s knack for crafting infectious, sun-soaked harmonies. The album’s title track and closer, "Fragments - From The Film 'The Smog Of The Sea'," ties into Johnson’s environmental documentary work, reinforcing his commitment to ocean conservation—a recurring theme in his artistry.

With its Hawaiian roots shining through in songs like "Daybreaks," the record balances introspection ("Is One Moon Enough?") with breezy escapism ("Sunsets For Somebody Else"). The album’s cover art—Johnson lounging on a beach amid plastic waste—serves as a subtle yet powerful visual metaphor for the environmental themes woven throughout.

All the Light Above It Too is a polished, cohesive offering from Johnson, where his acoustic guitar, smooth vocals, and laid-back grooves create an immersive listening experience. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to his music, the album captures the essence of Johnson’s artistry: effortless, meaningful, and undeniably soothing.
