So go for it, explore this little gem that will one day turn into a museum piece.Jack Stauber (born April 6, 1996) is an American musician, animator, and YouTuber from McKean, Pennsylvania who now lives in Pittsburgh. ![]() A true humble gem, only found every once in awhile, that’s worth keeping in your pocket to show other people. I would describe Jack Stauber as weird gone magnificent. I have been able to divide all the songs from “HiLo” into four categories: exploratory, chill vibes, sad times, and happy as all get out. His sound is like no other in wonderful way. Mostly using claymation, he creates an emotional trip to the grocery store with a catchy twist. “SHOP- A Pop Opera”, is his most recent appearance on Adult Swim. You may be able to catch them in between commercial breaks later at night. Along with his full length songs, he produces short “musicals” for Adult Swim. The “Dead Weight” music video has a good example of his particular cinematic taste using all the styles previously mentioned. All of his videos are meant to give a “lost VHS tape found” vibe. Jack uses a combination of 2-D animation, claymation and live action to go along with his songs. He animates and creates all the themes for his videos. Along with the bizarre music comes the music videos. His stuff gives you something to explore. “Leopard” (HiLo) has so many different sounds and changes left and right. ![]() “Dead Weight” (HiLo) has the same sound and voice through the whole thing. His voice goes from very classical to impossible to understand. ![]() Then the next part is completely different, funny and charming. It gives chills because it feels so real. The intro of this song has a very proper sound and a weary sad voice. “I’m only here because of reason, I close my eyes there goes a season” and “Monsters in his keep, if we keep quiet we’ll be safe.” Both have a sort of funny sound but are drastically different. “Cunk” from this album is a good introduction to his style. These are from his album “HiLo” released 2018. “Coconut Ranger” and “Pizza Boy” are sad but very warming in a weird way. Along with his happy go lucky songs, he has some that fit into the sadder side. For example “Buttercup,” “I Understand,” and “Bothersome” are so charming and happy with little feels of summer and pop. The album Pop Food was released in 2017 and has some of his best cheery songs. He was born in the U.S on April 6th 1996 and now, at 23 years old, he has produced ten albums-all of a bizarre genre. No song of his is the same however, most have an 80’s feel. He uses the weirdest lyrics and sounds that make the most pure thing. ![]()
