Jay Som – Anak Ko [CD]

Description

After the breakout success of Jay Soms 2017 debut album, Everybody Works, the bands songwriter, producer, and creative force Melina Duterte spent the next few years taking advantage of all the opportunities her unexpected success suddenly offered her. She took Jay Som on the road, performing with the likes of Mitski, Japanese Breakfast, Paramore, Alvvays and more across multiple US and European tours. She made appearances at various high-profile festivals, including Primavera Sound, Bonnaroo, Sasquatch, and many more. She even found time to sneak in a collaborate EP, Nothings Changed, with like-minded solo artist Justus Proffit. When it was time to make Jay Soms second album, Duterte relocated from her hometown roots in Californias Bay Area to Los Angeles and started writing. The result, Anak Ko, is some of Dutertes strongest work to date. Translating to my child in English, Anak Ko, features sweeping, shoegazey guitars (Superbike), delicate string & pedal steel arrangements (Nighttime Drive, Get Well), and incredible production that showcases Dutertes evolving skills in the studio (Anak Ko). Anak Ko presents an exciting glimpse into Dutertes creative process and solidifies her undeniable progression as one of 2019’s strongest and gifted songwriters.
