Dot Dash Recordings is thrilled to release Jess Locke’s third album Don’t Ask Yourself Why.The Melbourne-based singer-songwriter is known for penning indie guitar-pop tracks that are at times subtle and full of melancholy, at times delivered with an acerbic tongue, but always steeped heavily in narrative.

Don’t Ask Yourself Why was recorded by Jess Locke and her bandmates James Morris and Chris Rawsthorne, along with producer Rob Muinos (Saskwatch, Julia Jacklin). On Don’t Ask Yourself Why, Locke invites contemplation. “I mean the phrase ironically, because really, I do want you to ask why” explains Locke. “The whole album is about human behaviour, our egos, and our ability or lack-there-of to reflect on why we act and think the way we do.”
