Jackie Lynn – “Alien Love”
Jackie Lynn is the new alter ego experimental outfit Circuit Des Yeux, which is primarily the project Chicago-based musician Haley Fohr. She’s come up with a whole backstory for the new project: Lynn is a Tennessee native (and Gemini — evil!) who hightailed it to Chicago and started a cocaine empire with a figure known as Tom Strong. The self-titled debut, Jackie Lynn, is supposed to be the only evidence police have to track down the couple and “Alien Love,” the album’s first single, certainly takes advantage the the sinisterness the narrative. Listen, revisit the album trailer, and read Jackie Lynn’s ficial bio below.
Jackie Lynn was born in Franklin, TN on June 1st, 1990: “I’ve always been the source action. My mom didn’t even make it to the hospital before I decided to come into this world. She had to lie right down on the sidewalk in front Rolling Hills Hospital as doctors hovered around to help. It was storming that morning, and right as I was coming into the world a bolt lighting fell from the sky, striking my mother right in the belly. They say I shot out her like a bullet from a gun, right into oncoming traffic.”
Jackie, now a 25-year-old Gemini residing somewhere unknown, has mysteriously disappeared after leaving a chronological musical artifact that the city Chicago is now using to try to trace her whereabouts.
This is what we know: Born and raised in Franklin, TN, in May 2010, Jackie took a Greyhound bus from Franklin, TN to Chicago, IL. Upon her arrival in the city Chicago, Jackie found a cheap sublet on the south side. She soon became acquainted with Tom Strong (real name unknown) on a short CTA bus trip to the Chicago Loop. We believe that Tom & Jackie together ran a multimillion dollar business distributing the illegal substance cocaine around Chicago & the Chicago tristate area for over four years. Authorities believe that a local automobile shop was used as the main distributions headquarter.
Over the years, Tom & Jackie have become well known for their large and lavish parties thrown at an apartment located on Sacramento & 26th street. Police have been hot on their trail, but have found no probable cause to make an arrest. A domestic dispute was reported on February 18th 2015. When police arrived, the apartment was found deserted. Traces cocaine were found on a red and gold LP jacket with the following recording enclosed.
