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]
In 2012, the title track from the EP was included on PopMatters' list "10 Great Shoegaze Songs Submerged Beneath the Surface." [1]

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]
