Liverpool, UK based composer/guitarist Jack Gardiner has unveiled the official video for the single “The Snow Job” featuring Matteo Mancuso, taken from his new album, “Kintsugi,” released on March 13, 2026 (digital), April 3, 2026 (CD,vinyl).
Watch the video for “The Snow Job” feat. Matteo Mancuso via the YouTube player below:
“Kintsugi” (金継ぎ) is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer (Urushi) mixed with powdered gold. Rather than hiding damage, the cracks are revealed – becoming part of the object’s story. What was broken is not erased, but transformed.
Like many musicians, I struggle with imposter syndrome and self-doubt. “Kintsugi” is about learning to honour those breaks – moments of doubt, change, and repair – and carrying them forward as strength.
