In the new musical world order, where digitised tunes can be emailed or downloaded anywhere, any time, intimacy – that precious sense of communion between listener and performer – has become a rarity. But not in the world of Jacob Golden; and never at any point on his beautiful and powerful album, Revenge Songs. Golden is a singer, guitarist and songwriter from California, who makes music suffused with big and complicated emotions in small, friendly spaces.
Most of his tours grow organically, their bespoke itineraries designed in response to audience requests via Myspace and Mog.com. Last year he toured the East Coast of America, playing 'living room shows' in the front rooms of fans to no more than 40 people at a time. "But you make an unbelievable, lifelong connection with those people." This Spring he's coming to get close to his fans in the UK and Ireland. "I enjoy the possibilities of electronics," Golden says. "But the foundation of my musicality, and what enchants me in music generally is atmosphere. A good record is a document of an experience, of people playing and listening in a room."
Revenge Songs is out now on Echo.
