REAL GROOVY COMMENTS The opening bars of SOLACE and beyond are unmistakably the work of three fellows from Napier, continuing to infiltrate eardrums the world over with their expansive organic instrumentals. The outcome of another formidable pairing with producer extraordinaire David Holmes, SOLACE refines Jakob’s approach, taking their sound a step beyond the existing body of work that includes three previous records – their self-titled debut, SUBSETS OF SETS and CALE:DREW.

The nature of Jakob’s music is well-established yet never predictable, ebbing and flowing in a fluid motion as it takes hold of the listener, initially enticing you inside their ocean-sized compositions before dragging your ears through cascading Great Wall-sized slabs of sound.
