Jack & Tamar’s indie duo Nine Lives Narrow seek support to press a final 7″ vinyl as Jack faces terminal brain cancer and celebrates life.

Wellington

Hi, my name is Jack and I'm 22 years old. My partner, Tamar, and I have been working on a two-piece music project called Nine Lives Narrow. Our music sits somewhere between slow-core, lo-fi, and indie, and is very meaningful for the both of us.

Last year, I was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, and recently things have progressed faster than expected. I have only a limited amount of time left — a number of months — and one of my biggest dreams has always been to release a physical record of my own music. It would mean so much to leave something this special behind. We are putting together 2 songs, “Someone” and “Like the Sea”, for an A-side/B-side single to release on 7-inch vinyl – something I can finish with the person I love.

Pressing vinyl is expensive, something we can't afford ourselves — which is why we're asking for help to make this dream a reality. We are hoping to do a small run (50-100) of vinyl singles, as well as a mini-festival/release show to celebrate my life and our music.

If you’re able to donate or share this page, to support us and these plans, you’d not only be helping us make a record — you’d be helping us celebrate love, creativity, and life while it’s still happening.

Thank you so much for reading and for any support you can offer.

Sincerely,

Jack and Tamar / Nine Lives Narrow

Use of funds

We are hoping to manufacture a small run (50-100) of 7" inch vinyl singles, as well as a mini-festival/release show featuring our project and other local musicians.
