Die dreiköpfige Band jackie aus Toronto veröffentlichen die erste Single „Filter“ aus ihrer im Januar 2022 erscheinenden EP „Hey Angel“. Der Song ist das erste Lebenszeichen der Band nach ihrer Debüt-EP „New at Drugs“ und der Single „Perform“ von 2020. Musikalisch bewegt sich die Band, bestehend aus Frontsängerin Jackie Mohr, Marc Girardin und Max Trefler, im nostalgischen Indie-Rock, der die Balance aus eingängigen Melodien und der nötigen Kante findet, um nicht eintönig zu werden.

Zu „Filter“ erzählt die Frontsängerin Jackie: „I always get a special feeling from hearing this song. There’s just something so beautifully simple about it and it’s parts. There’s more acoustic on this track than any other so I was obviously forced to go out and buy a new guitar. I found his ‘72 (made in Japan) Morris acoustic that was modelled after some expensive Martin acoustic so I dropped the $600, hopped over to Ronnie's Local in Kensington and made all my music pals play it to reassure me that it’s as wicked as I thought it was when I bought it. I love when I write something that’s not about love, or loss, or pain because that’s often what I think about when writing, but Filter instead just has this cool wave of good vibes. The line, “I forgot to shake it off, to take a break for heaven's sake” rolls around my head at least once a day now. Willows (writer/producer) was so eager to write in this session, he really laid this song out on acoustic for me, and we jammed the chorus out together. We had a lot of fun figuring out the ending, which felt like some Radiohead ‘The Bends’ track.”
