text: # Jack (EP)
  
  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).
  
  In 2012, the title track from the EP was included on PopMatters' list "10 Great Shoegaze Songs Submerged Beneath the Surface."

  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."
