Jack is the debut EP by British rock band Moose. It was released in March 1991 through Hut Records. Akin to Moose's two succeeding EPs, the album showcases a distortion-heavy shoegazing style, which was abandoned shortly before the recording of the band's debut album, ...XYZ (1992).[1][2][3]
Allmusic critic Jason Ankeny described the record as "a galvanizing and commanding debut", stating that the EP "immediately establishes Moose as noisemakers par excellence, creating feedback-rich pop with an urgency and ferocity not heard since the Jesus and Mary Chain's landmark Psychocandy." Ankeny also wrote: "Over just a handful of songs, Moose manage to convey the full scope of the shoegazer aesthetic."[4]
