Jacob Alon is very pleased to share their debut album, In Limerence. The record is released today via Island / EMI.
The album was recorded in London and produced by Dan Carey. Listen to the full record now
Scotland’s Jacob Alon is resetting the button on British contemporary folk music. They certainly possess all the touchpoints; that lilting, otherworldly vocal, colourful story-telling, and fingerpicking patterns traced along their acoustic guitar’s fretboard, but whilst Jacob displays all the classic folksy attributes, they fidget on a different plain entirely. Sure, the voice is ghostly, but often evokes that of a tortured angel; the darkest of lyricists laced with jet black humour. Bleakly beautiful bittersweet symphonies. Scotland’s young Makar in waiting, and In Limerence their opening chapter.
In the coming days, Jacob concludes a handful of in-store performances and headline dates in Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin ahead of two support slots at London’s Royal Albert Hall for Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
A busy Summer festival season (including a debut performance at Glastonbury), is followed by a full European and UK in support of Kae Tempest throughout the Autumn.
