Make Sure Share "Burning Heap" Video

Auburn, Alabama's Make Sure, the project of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joshua Aubrey Jackson, recently announced the forthcoming release of the sophomore album June on April 12. Pre-order it here.

Today, they have shared the video for "Burning Heap."

Watch it Below. 

"'Burning Heap' is a song that was written with a lot of fire behind it. It's admitting, 'I'm still not okay, I have a lot to work on, and the kindest thing you can do right now is leave me alone."

Make Sure just confirmed an appearance at AudioFeed Festival this summer. The event takes place at Champaign County Fairgrounds in Urbana, Illinois from July 4-7.

On his second record for Tooth & Nail Records, singer/songwriter Joshua Jackson provides another helping of spiritual and conversational indie rock in his latest offering June. Following his label debut, 2021's Ninjutsu, Jackson returns with a more expansive sonic palette without sacrificing the emotional vulnerability and intimacy that has defined his work for more than a decade. Balancing an evening-drive-with-the-windows-down soundscape with yearning lyrics, these songs work from the understanding of hurt, but in spite of it, they speak "I can still get up and try." From end to end, June is filled with deeply empathetic songwriting and marks Jackson as an artist of great heart and talent.

Make Sure Share "Comedown" Video Featuring Some REALLY Cute Cats

Auburn, Alabama's Make Sure — the project of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joshua Aubrey Jackson — has dropped the video for "Comedown." It's adorable and features cats.

Watch it below. 

It features an orange tabby named Watson who goes missing, sending his owner into the sort of intense panic that any pet parent will understand in their bones. Missing feline flyers, a $10k reward, and a passionate search for his fur baby ensues.

 "With 'Comedown,' I wanted to pay homage to pop/rock songs I grew up listening to in the early 2000s," Jackson says. "At face value, the song might appear to be gloomy, but to me, it's ultimately a hopeful song about acceptance and moving towards a healthier life."

Stay tuned for more information on Make Sure soon.

Make Sure is known for mixing intimate dream-pop and expansive folk-rock. His most recent album Ninjutsu is like getting a hug from a close friend after baring your soul to them. It captures the liberating feeling of truly knowing that someone else has walked down the same road of disappointment, awkwardness and redemption. "Talking about vague pain isn't helpful," Jackson says. "It's your actual story that gives people hope."
