Jeremy Jay at CC, July 5th

Jeremy Jay

If your retinas are still resting from the visual onslaught from the multiple fireworks displays happening on our nations Independence day, why not spend the day after stimulating another sense? Join us on July 5th where Squad Car Media presents a show at Caroline with Jeremy Jay.

Jeremy Jay, a Californian, has toured the West Coast and ventured as far a field as New York City in the past year. His U.S. tour has just kicked off after the release of A Place Where We Could Go, and has already begun working on his second K album, to be released in January 2009. Come out to Caroline Collective for this exclusive event on Saturday July 5th 7-10pm. The Don’t Fight It Dj’s will help rounad out the night spinning everything you are dying to hear.

“Every once in a while, a record appears as if from nowhere. The lankiest man-child in pop, 6’3″ Jeremy Jay has made a little gem with his Airwalker EP. His simple pop concoctions evoke Joy Division if they had done soundtrack work for John Hughes. Indeed, his songs, like Airwalker’s brilliant cover art, exude a cool that’s been studied. Not by corporate cool-hunters, mind you, but by someone keen to evoke his heroes. Fans of Chromatics or Glass Candy may find solitude here. “Airwalker” is a hit, something akin to Ian Curtis for roller rinks. “We Stay Here” manages to steal a riff from Kraftwerk’s “The Model” while sounding like David Lynch’s dream band in 1983. It’s all very, very simple. Nothing is superfluous.”
