25.01.2022 Thanks to everybody who tuned in to the Fake Four Friday livestream, hope you had fun. Big thanks to El Gran E Records & Fake Four Inc. for making it happen. Bunch of absolute stars, out there. Being able to perform for such a beautiful audience (and one of my rap heroes) was the best birthday present of all time. Replay available on twitch.tv/fakefourinc if anyone wants to watch me rap and try to be funny in between songs for 25 minutes.
25.01.2022 Fresh from the oven. Thank you, declantheswine. Link in comments to choose your favourite listening platform.

25.01.2022 At last, the StarHeartSkull EP has arrived. Go check it out on your favourite listening platform or click the link in the comments and let it guide you. I hope you like it.

24.01.2022 StarHeartSkull EP available now. Find it in the normal place you find your music or hit the link in the comments for assistance. This track is called Nine Kisses and features the awesome Sophia Blackburn on the chorus, with my sib from another crib Bastian Bucks on the beat. Thanks to everyone who has listened so far, you guys rock <3
24.01.2022 Great new track/video from Thorts131 (Thorts & Smokey131), checkitty-check it with a quicketty-quickness.
24.01.2022 If you didn't catch the pre-inaugural episode of the Vaulcast last night you would've missed this rendition of Cockpit (from Lowlight Plains - Lossless (Chpt. 2), available on all reputable music platforms). I had fun doing this. I will do more. Stay tuned for episode 1 next Monday (or Tuesday, I dunno).
23.01.2022 "Wishing Well Wishes didn’t have to be as good as it is, but I’m glad that it is." Many thanks to Chi Chi Thalken from Scratched Vinyl for the kind words about the Thorts & Prayrz EP, what a legend. Read the whole thing here: http://scratchedvinyl.com//thorts-prayrz-wishing-well-wis/
22.01.2022 Head over to jackvaul.com, scroll down and hit the "vote now" button and vote (for me) in the play / pause / play Heaps Good 50. Go on, then. Many thanks to everybody who's voted so far, you are appreciated
21.01.2022 Paper Throne Many thanks to atlas.adl for the shots
20.01.2022 My sib from another crib Thorts has been pushing the envelope extra hard recently with a collaborative project called Thoel Simerville. Check it!
20.01.2022 StarHeartSkull EP available 5/8. 7 tracks, and you've only heard 3 of them (if that). Hit the link at the bottom of this post to pre-save on Spotify/Apple/Play. Many thanks to Bastian Bucks, Sophia Blackburn, Wakemare, rainforestcloudmachine and Nonjuror for allowing it to come together from the ether within which it formerly resided. Cover illustration by SadderdayMourningCartoons. Apologies for the radio silence, I'm writing a million songs at once, you will hear them all s...oon. https://linktr.ee/jackvaul
20.01.2022 "The wind is blowing leaves off of the Bodhi tree; replace them with the ghosts of crows that vomit snow through frozen beaks" Much love and many peaces to everyone who had nice things to say about the song I made with legac.y_music which is on his Technicoloured Dreams Vol. 4 EP, out now on all major platforms (link in comments). You might've missed the bit where it did this, though. Yeah, things get weird. They get even weirder if you listen to the rest of the song. See th...e top of the post for an example, I guess. Got a bunch of songs mixed and mastered and ready to release, you probably won't hear them for a while but if [an undisclosed number of] people comment on this post and tell me to release something then I'll hit the upload button. Also, head over to jackvaul d0t c0m and subscribe to the email list because I'm soon to be dropping an album of remastered older songs which will only be available to subscribers. I won't hassle you much, promise.
20.01.2022 There are some heavy tracks on Lossless (Chpt. 2), you'll like them. Link in comments to take you to all your favourite platforms. Also, tune in to This Is Our Sound Three D Radio 93.7 tonight at 11pm to hear Lossless (Chpt. 2) in its entirety with Wakemare and I giving some extra insights on each of the tracks.
19.01.2022 Thorts & Prayrz EP out now, hit the link in the comments and check out our goofy tracks. "Listen to Thorts & Prayrz (AKA Jack Vaul) entertain themselves and each other (and, quite likely, nobody else) over beats by Murma One. An exercise in spontaneity, the two emcees vowed at the beginning of the project not to take things too seriously, though still manage to touch on issues of religion, existentialism, childhood, and Tabasco croissants, amongst other things. All songs mixed and mastered by C$Burns."
17.01.2022 "Tempest in a teacup, mountain made of angel hair" Thanks to everybody who has checked out the Thorts & Prayrz EP so far, for a small rag-tag assortment of oddball tracks it's received a lot more attention and love than I was expecting. You bunch of weirdos. Anyway, here's a clip from Tempest.... (Link in comments)
16.01.2022 New Thorts track for ya face (with a dope producer and similarly dope guests). First single from his upcoming EP with Whatever Cecil, more on that in the future.

15.01.2022 Vaulcast #1 (Vaultogether Now)
15.01.2022 THORTS & PRAYRZ - WISHING WELL WISHES EP - June 1st I have a rapper friend called Thorts. Every so often, someone (usually in a comment section) tells him he needs to find another rapper called "Prayers" and form a group called Thorts & Prayers.... So, I did what any good friend would do and changed my name (temporarily) to Prayrz, and we recorded an EP together. Thorts & Prayrz. It's quirky and loveable and fun, I like it. It'll be available on all major platforms on June 1st, which is less than two weeks away. Write it on your calendar or the back of your hand or something, I'll try to remember to remind you, though. Remind me to do that. All beats courtesy of my old friend Murma One, all songs mixed and mastered by C$Burns.
15.01.2022 Tune in to Three D Radio 93.7FM at 11pm tonight to hear Lowlight Plains - Lossless (Chpt. 1) played in full, as well as some audio clips of Wakemare and I discussing each of the songs and giving a peek behind the curtain. You'll also hear a bunch of great tracks from other local artists, you can stream it at https://www.threedradio.com/listen-now/, download the Three D Radio app for your phone, or simply tune your radio to 93.7FM. Many thanks to This Is Our Sound Three D Radio 93.7
15.01.2022 No Vaulcast tonight, look after each other. #BlackoutTuesday
14.01.2022 Fulfilling audience requests on Tuesday night's Vaulcast, somehow ended up rapping over Bryan Adams. Thanks to Ben Adams for the (initially in jest) request, was a fun one! Full Vaulcast episode available here on Facebook and on YouTube, next episode coming Monday night (maybe Tuesday, I dunno).
13.01.2022 [Xzibit meme] "we heard you like StarHeartSkull stickers so we put a tiny StarHeartSkull sticker on the envelope with your StarHeartSkull stickers in it" Sending stickers out, thanks again to everyone who took part and helped spread the music around, you guys rock <3
13.01.2022 Much love to the fine folks at Prhymal Rage Music for featuring StarHeartSkull on their website, and for the kind words. Cleveland's premiere hip-hop collective, dontcha know. Go check it (maybe pick up some sound kits and beats while you're there, if ya want) https://prhymalrage.com/2020/08/17/jack-vaul-starheartskull/
12.01.2022 Wunderkind Adelaide producer Legac.y Music ran a contest to rap over this beat. The winner got to keep the beat. Yadda yadda yadda, the beat is mine now.

08.01.2022 Can he do it? Will he be hospitalised? Will the songs be any good? Stay tuned and find out. So far it's going awesomely.
07.01.2022 What the actual devil have those fellows over at Lowlight Plains done now?
07.01.2022 Livestreams coming soon. Gimme requests. What do you wanna hear?
07.01.2022 StarHeartSkull EP coming soon (I promise)
07.01.2022 Have you listened to the StarHeartSkull EP yet? Available on all major platforms now, hunt it down or hit the link in comments/bio for assistance. This one's kinda heavy. A track called Marwood. Additional vocal processing by Wakemare of Lowlight Plains, beat by evilkuff. You might even hear some sneaky Bastian Bucks vocals in the last chorus. Dig it <3
05.01.2022 Will be streaming live in 40 minutes (6pm ADL time) unless: 1. Technical problems 2. Something even slightly discouraging/demoralising happens between now and then
05.01.2022 The track now known as Quintin' Barantino is on YouTube, if that's your jam. I've got hardly any subscribers so hop on over there and hook me up if you're feeling kind. https://youtu.be/93jh1nkgIF4
05.01.2022 Big, big love to the fine folks at Prhymal Rage Music in Cleveland for sending through a big package of awesomeness. Specifically, large thanks to Doc Remedy and Crazy8theGreat for being so generous. I could've posted pics of everything in the box but it would've maxed the limits. They're good people, check out their accounts and the website (prhymalrage.com) and you'll know what I'm talking about.
05.01.2022 You can vote for Lowlight Plains in the People's Choice - Hiphop category of the SA Music Awards. Imagine if you did that, and then something surprising happened. That'd really be something.
04.01.2022 Vaulcast #2 (Vauldeville)
03.01.2022 I've got a fresh little video for you guys but apparently Sunday isn't a good day for posting content so it'll have to wait until tomorrow, or Tuesday, or Thursday two weeks from now. Unless enough of you want to hear it, in which case we'll just do it today. Let me know, happy Sunday
03.01.2022 T-minus 24 hours, don't sleep. (actually, you can sleep one more time before this happens, probably a good idea)
03.01.2022 So I've got these stickers, yeah? Pretty good, right? Perfect for sticking on stuff, truth be told. I can hook you up, but you've gotta do a little something for me first... If you share one of the Facebook video posts from the links below I'll send you a sticker. Maybe even two stickers, I'm unpredictable like that. Wild card. Just share one of the videos and then send me your address, easy as a really easy thing.... OUT OF EDEN: https://bit.ly/3a3Loco NINE KISSES: https://bit.ly/3ii6XJi MARWOOD: https://bit.ly/2FgIdD6 Don't share this post, though. You will receive no sticker. In fact, I may just come to your house and take one of your existing stickers from you. I don't need everyone to know that I'm bribing people with stickers, it's not a good look. Now, get to sharing! (also, if you've already shared one of these videos then just send me your address and I'll sort you out)
03.01.2022 Very honoured that El Gran E Records chose to include my track First Light feat. Sophia Blackburn on this amazing compilation. Check out the artists on there. Friends and heroes. Thorts, Ceschi Ramos, Swordplay, Chris Conde, BRZOWSKI, the list goes on and on and keeps going on for much longer than you'd expect. Colour me thankful.... <3
03.01.2022 Stickers restocked (now with extra VAUL), more on that soon. Enjoy your weekends!
02.01.2022 Thorts (WA) & Whatever Cecil (Arizona) just released a dope EP called Long Distance, I was lucky enough to contribute to a track called Winter Pepper, here's a little clip. One of my favourite collaborative endeavours to date, it's a special little song. Check it out at fangoverfistrecords dot bandcamp dot com, or hit up jackvaul dot com and go from there.
02.01.2022 This is a strange time to be releasing music. I am very, very aware of this. I know it might seem insensitive to be putting out songs at a time when everything seems so dire, so unstable, so uncertain, but I truly believe that music can offer some form of escapism, and perhaps even a sense of normalcy that we're all missing at the moment. It may seem somewhat out of place to see a post about new music amidst your feed, I am hoping that this feels refreshing as opposed to dis...respectful. The things that used to help us relax and switch off, such as turning on the TV or scrolling through social media, now have their switches firmly set to "on". And I understand this, it's crucial that we all remain informed. But if I dilute the COVID-19 posts by 0.01% then I feel as though that's not altogether a bad thing. At the very least, wrangling these chunks of audio and everything around them has been a welcome distraction for me in the current climate (and for countless years before that, but that's another matter) and I'm hoping that they can serve a similar function for all of you. If it's purely self-serving then I'll just have to wear that, we all have our own coping strategies. My heart goes out to everyone. Absolutely everyone, without exception. We're all in this together, let's hunker down, ride it out, and try to minimise the losses. Much love, many peaces. <3
02.01.2022 Got some dope stickers courtesy of Deztroy from Mad Theory, more about that later. StarHeartSkull EP dropping in 35 hours, hit the link in the comments to pre-save/pre-order
01.01.2022 Straight outta Cologne, Germany. Get some Silencio into ya
