About this item

Hailed as “one of the most remarkable voices of their generation” (The Independent), Scotland’s Jacob Alon redefines contemporary folk with their debut album, ‘In Limerence’. Featuring the acclaimed singles’ Fairy In A Bottle’, ‘Confession’, and ‘Liquid Gold 25’, the Dan Carey-produced record weaves poetic storytelling with ghostly vocals and intricate guitar work. Alon’s deeply personal songwriting has earned praise from Clash, Billboard, and The Times, plus an appearance on Later… with Jools Holland and support from BBC 6 Music. A haunting yet hopeful debut, ‘In Limerence’ cements Alon as a singular new voice in British folk.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: A beautiful wash of brittle, folky guitars and hushed vocals morph into powerful passages of reflective exuberance and celebratory praise. Though Alon's hushed vocals suggest timidity, the beautifully confident strokes of musicality and majestic changes juxtapose it beautifully. Brilliant.
