Based in Horsell, England, JK Jerome makes a striking debut with "Profanity". Right from the get-go, you hear the delightfully shimmering tone of a fingerpicked guitar before it leads into his absolutely stunning vocals, which, at times, recall the tenderness of Ben Howard.
... "Profanity" is a cinematic indie folk debut that pairs raw emotion with experimental flair to striking effect.
At its core, the track is a rich and cinematic folk song with pop sensibilities and experimental moments in the percussion. Especially around the mid-point, subtle electronic textures creep in, adding an edgy and atmospheric layer to the sound.
Artists and bands these days are always searching for something unique in their music, and it feels like JK Jerome has truly found it. His cinematic indie folk stylings, combined with a glitchy and, at times, left-field approach to electronic music, come together seamlessly. He feels destined to become one of the rising stars of this genre.
