JEREMY JAY - "Covered in Ivy"/"Situations Said" download single
I came across a stream of this single a while back and was a little curious so I decided to give it a shot. "Covered
in Ivy" shows Jay mining a moody post art rock direction with atmospheric synth ladled over a minimalist guitar hook
for a vibe that shows a obvious nod to early 80s death rock. "Situations Said" is a non-album B side that's bit
more somber with the synthesize being more prominent in the mix and baritone vocals Both songs draw from the moodiness and
atmospherics of death rock’s artier side without making things completely beholden to that era. Wasn't sure what
to expect but it's nice to hear something that stands apart from a lot of what punk and indie has become these days. (BOONE)
