Goon

by Tobias Jesso Jr.

Goon cover art

Emerging from complete obscurity after a failed attempt at a career in Los Angeles, the towering Canadian songwriter delivered a stunning, highly acclaimed debut. Built almost entirely around vintage 1970s piano balladry reminiscent of Randy Newman and Harry Nilsson, the production is incredibly sparse and nakedly emotional. The record's success eventually led to highly sought-after songwriting collaborations with major pop stars like Adele.
