CovertC...
A tall, lanky solo artist who’s been compared to other tall, lanky solo artists like Jens Lekman and Jonathan Richman, Jeremy Jay traffics in sparse, moony-eyed pop that takes its stylistic cues from 1950s rock ’n’ roll and lovelorn French chansons. While the unabashed romanticism and reverb-driven surf guitar lines could be dismissed as retro fad, there’s an eerie, refracted quality to Jay’s music that haunts the listener long after his debut LP, A Place Where We Could Go, stops spinning. The singer conjures up images of ghostly proms and long-gone teen angels with a detached croon that’s both intimate and too ephemeral to touch. There’s a hint of humor in there as well: Check his cover of Suicide’s “Ghost Rider” for proof. Opening: {{{Sunset}}}, Nic Armstrong.
