JEREMY
JAY - Love Everlasting - [KLP202] -
Internet Stream
It was winter outside and something was
happening in the storybook world of Jeremy
Jay’s psyche. While working on his upcoming full-length Slow
Dance [KLP197] (to be released in spring ’09), there was an icicle-caked
excitement that resulted in a snow-flurry of extra recordings. The cozy,
insulated vibe of Olympia, Washington and Dub Narcotic Studio took hold
and Jeremy, along with Ilya Malinksy (guitar), Nick Pahl (drums) and Derek
James (bass) crafted “Love Everlasting” [KLP202] a separate 12” single.
These extra songs, recorded with a fiery compulsion, were written in Jeremy’s
Los Angeles apartment and expanded in studio. The song “Lite Beam” took
shape with a solarized hi-hat and synth bass – a real disco dance cut;
“Jet Stream,” has that special synth bass that propels it to a dance floor
climax, and the single itself, “Love Everlasting,” twinkles magnificently
with a sensual glide.
Jeremy Jay and his band have toured extensively across the U.S.A., Europe
and Australia in support of his recent album A
Place Where We Could Go [KLP187] and will be reacquainting the
U.S. with their icy soundscapes after the release of this 12” single.
“Part poet, part '50s teen idol and part ghost, Jeremy Jay [takes listeners
to] a place where girls have fairytale looks and candied apples are served
for lunch, where dreams, fantasies and movies collide, and where Gene
Vincent, Buddy Holly, Morrissey and Alan Vega are loved equally. It's
no surprise that Jay calls his hometown of Los Angeles ‘the City of Angels’
-- he's a true romantic and sensualist, transforming his surroundings
into a glamorous, magical reality.”
