Career

=2013-2016: Career beginnings and EPs=

Rankin initially performed under her given name, before adopting the performance name, Jack River, upon relocating to Sydney. Her eight-track debut extended play, On Nature Part One, was issued in April 2013 via Waterfront Records and MGM Distribution.{{cite web |url=https://www.sanity.com.au/products/2222879/On-Nature-Part-One |title=On Nature Part One Jack River |publisher=Sanity |accessdate=23 September 2019 }} James Monger of AllMusic described how her, "laid-back, psych-tinged electropop [had] earned her a loyal local following."{{cite web | url = https://www.allmusic.com/artist/jack-river-mn0003531902/biography | title = Jack River Biography & History | last = Monger | first = James Christopher | publisher = AllMusic | accessdate = 23 September 2019 }}

River signed with I Oh You / Universal Music Australia, which issued her single, "Talk Like That", in early 2016. Happy Mag{{'}}s Emerson Noble felt, "[it] has an incredibly tangible, organic feel that seems to come pretty naturally to [River]. There is an air of self-produced originality that draws you into this track but it's still so damn hooky that you're going to be singing that sweet synth riff for days."{{cite news | url = https://happymag.tv/jack-river-gets-us-swimming-in-pools-of-synth-and-low-key-indie-vocals-on-stunning-new-track-talk-like-that/ | title = Jack River gets us swimming in pools of synth, and low key indie vocals on stunning new track, Talk Like That | last = Noble | first = Emerson | work = Happy Mag | date = 11 August 2016 | accessdate = 24 September 2019 }}

Her seven-track EP, Highway Songs No. 2 (October 2016) peaked at number 19 on the ARIA Hitseekers Albums Chart.{{cite journal

Laura Polson of The Newcastle Herald observed, "On top of writing the melody and lyrics, Rankin seeks landscape sounds to add to her music... the opening track 'Highway (Intro)' draws together carnival sounds with a western, cowboy twist."

River's single, "Fool's Gold" (June 2017), was accompanied by a music video, which Sosefina Fuamoli of The AU Review felt was, "dreamy as hell" and "lit up through a beautifully-crafted haze of a narrative, following different couples."{{cite web |url=http://music.theaureview.com/new/music-video-of-the-day-jack-river-fools-gold-2017/ |title=Music Video of the Day: Jack River 'Fool's Gold' (2017) |work=The AU Review |date=23 June 2017 |accessdate=23 September 2019|author=Fuamoli, Sosefina }} In June–July 2017 the singer-songwriter launched a series of concerts, Electric Lady, featuring only female acts: Ali Barter, Alex Lahey, and Gretta Ray.{{cite web|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/2017/06/26/jack-river-and-the-gritty-powerful-women-of-electric-lady_a_23001389/ | title = Jack River and the Gritty, Powerful Women of Electric Lady |first=Josh|last=Butler|date=26 June 2017|publisher=|via=Huff Post}} River supported Midnight Oil during that year and undertook her own Fool's Gold Tour.{{cite web |url=http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/news/musicnews/jack-river-announces-fools-gold-headline-tour/8785502/ |title=Jack River takes Fool's Gold on tour

During an interview with Richard Kingsmill on 2018, a program on Triple J radio, River explained that music was her way of dealing with emotions and also as therapy, calling it her "go to for everything".{{cite web |last1=Kingsmill |first1=Richard |title=Jack River |url=http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/kingsmill/jack-river-iv/9882064 |website=Triple J |date=17 June 2018 |publisher=ABC |accessdate=17 June 2018}} It peaked at number 11 on the Albums Chart and received three nominations at the 2018 ARIA Awards: Breakthrough Artist, Best Pop Release and Engineer of the Year (the latter shared with Dunn and John Castle).{{cite web | url = https://www.ariaawards.com.au/News/2018/And-The-ARIA-Award-Goes-To | title = And the ARIA Award Goes To... | publisher = Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) | date = 28 November 2018 | accessdate = 24 September 2019 }} In October 2019, she came at no.11 in Happy Mag's list of "The 15 Australian female artists changing the game right now".{{Cite web|url=https://happymag.tv/the-15-australian-female-artists-changing-the-game-right-now/|title=The 15 Australian female artists changing the game right now|date=24 October 2019 |language=en-US|access-date=2019-10-30}}

In September 2021, River released "We Are the Youth" saying "At the same time as there is widespread climate injustice, there is ongoing abuse of power on many fronts in our society: against First Nations people, in the halls of parliament and in workplaces everywhere. People are tired of it. We want change and action and we are ready to work to build our way out of a broken system."
