Jack's Mannequin – American Love

Biography
Orange County, California (2004 – 2012)
The initial impulse behind McMahon’s new project Jack’s Mannequin was “Locked Doors”, a song he recorded in December 2003, which he felt was too different from previous Something Corporate material to be one of their songs. He realized that, if he would ever decide to release it, it would be on a solo album rather than a Something Corporate record. The idea seemed to be off the table, until in late summer 2004 both McMahon and his band mates were exhausted from months of touring. They decided to take a temporary break. During his time off, McMahon started writing songs, knowing they would not see the light of day as Something Corporate songs. These songs were a more therapeutic approach McMahon took, and therefore a more personal and intimate testament of his songwriting.
Over the next couple of months, McMahon began recording the newly written songs with producer Jim Wirt, who would play guitar and bass over sampled drum tracks, while McMahon contributed vocals and piano. They later brought in additional musicians such as Bobby Anderson (formerly of River City High) and Tommy Lee to add to the mix.

The good thing about Jack's Mannequin is that it's Andrew McMahon. That's the good thing about Something Corporate too. And whatever Andrew McMahon decides to do next, it's going to be him. Jack's Mannequin might be over but hell, anything Andrew touches turns into the miracle we all know and love so much. [3]
