:: Jakob - Solace

Jakob

Solace is a leap from the high board into a deeply satisfying rock pool. This New Zealand based three-piece act summon their music rather than play it, and each song is an intricately constructed instrumental vignette. ‘Pneumonic’ builds to a rollicking fuzz rock rhythm, while ‘Lonesome’ launches the band into freak-out psychedelic territory. These diverse tracks have one unifying feature; the way they gently lift you up, throw you around and then ground you again. Make this album the soundtrack to your next existential crisis and you’ll be guaranteed a safe landing.
