Jacob Alon is pleased to share their new single, Confession. It’s the Scottish artist’s second single, following the September release of debut release, Fairy in a Bottle.
In addition to the new release, Jacob shares a first UK headline tour run beginning in January next year. A full list of upcoming live dates can be found below.
Since Jacob’s opening bow at the tail end of the Summer, they’ve made their television debut on Later… with Jools Holland, sold out their rammed-to-the-rafters first headline show down in London, and returned back there to support Kae Tempest at KOKO. If the UK hasn’t delivered an exciting young folk star in over a decade now, Jacob Alon is showing all the positive signs of becoming precisely that.
Born in Fife, but long since settled in the hum and thrum of Edinburgh, Jacob has the personality to match their striking music. Retelling their life-story in song, events might nod to an inveterate self-mythologiser, but lands somewhere decidedly left of darkly bittersweet. A tumble of raven black curls, Jacob possesses a cherubic vocal that tremors and soars whilst recounting these scarred memories of their childhood and of fleeting connections. A life lived and yet only just beginning.
Sartorially ambiguous, they’re as comfortable in harnessing a pair of large white angel’s wings and garland as they are in a sort of vintage medieval renaissance ensemble.
Produced by Dan Carey, “Confession” is another profoundly tender offering from the richly talented young artist. Succulent guitar melodies pair with delicately delivered, painstakingly emotional lyrics, exploring a time in Jacob’s life where they felt most vulnerable with their sexuality.
Nick Drake and Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker are Jacob’s primary sources of musical inspiration, before making regular appearances at Edinburgh’s folk nights and discovering their chosen family in the Scottish capital’s queer scene; a supportive community that armed Jacob with the tools and confidence to pour their innermost feelings into their writing, with Jacob’s experiences of queerness informing much of their writing.
These are tragic stories told with a black humour. Standing in a room and watching Jacob perform, it’s the realness of their writing which captivates beyond return; there is a power in Jacob’s fragility which has to be seen to be believed.
