Hawaiian singer-songwriter Jack Johnson opens the door to his Brushfire label headquarters for a sneak peak of several tracks off his forthcoming album, 'Sleep Through the Static.' "It has a nice cinematic ride through the whole thing," Johnson says of the album. The avid surfer and environmentalist also brings us into his eco-friendly, solar-powered studio. He also lets us know that his fifth album was recorded directly to tape, forgoing the modern-day comforts of computer edits to achieve analog purity. Hear choice cuts and hang with Jack Johnson exclusively on Spinner.

Loved the sneak peak. Please make your way to South Carolina sometime. My husband is 54 and I'm 44 but we truly love all of Jack's music. The inscription he wanted on the inside of his wedding ring was "Without you I was broken but I'd rather be broke down with you by my side". Just goes to show you that good music is good music no matter what age you are or where you're from! Keep it coming Jack.

you may need to click the play icon on the screen a couple of times in order for the clip to kick in.
on another note...jack, you give me hope that there are men out there who are devoted to their craft, to the life which surrounds us, and most importantly, to their loved ones. i just hope that you are not the only man as such out there.

Wow! From what I can gather from this sneak-peak, the album sounds pretty rockin'. I'm so stoked for it's release. I love how he's got a solar-powered studio, way to go Jack! He's not only a great musician, but an avid environmentalist. I myself wish more people could try harder to make those small changes to their lives, and invest in sustainable living.
Anywho, can't wait for the album, I own all his other albums, and I'm looking forward to this one, which I'm POSITIVE will be just as great as his previous work, or probably even better!!!
