In 5 years mixing bands going deaf in a low down dirty venue in Wellington I got to mix hundreds of bands. By FAR the BEST experience I ever had as a sound guy, musician, and live music experiencer was the day these three guys showed up. I am so stoked to hear this and I pray their album reaches the world in ways not dreamed of.

I'm hearing these guys for the 1st time and your comment has me so intrigued that I just have to look deeper into their catalog of music. Thanks man

I will never ever forget seeing these fine folk at the Troubadour in Los Angeles while standing right next to Danny Carey. They were beyond good.

[@johnnewman7663]

Did Danny seem impressed?

[@dansmith7763]

I was there (but not next to Danny Carey!) So good. Exceeded my already high expectations. And Isis, well.... they also delivered above & beyond. Great night.

[@Tooldruid]

⁠@@johnnewman7663Danny loves Jakob. When they were touring Adam Jones (who’s friends with my friend Dustin) told him Jakob is one of his favorite bands.

[@hashylarry8524]

It's amazing when a damn threepiece can evoke a sense of roving sweeping landscapes; tundra, plains, glaciers, rolling oceans, and titanic mountains. Cheers Jakob

[@DizzyDez613]

For real. I was playing this in my car with a friend of mine in the passenger seat. He couldn’t believe it when I told him they’re a three piece. Lol I don’t know of any musician that has a better understanding of how to use effects such as delays and loopers than Jeff Boyle. Maybe the guys from Mogwai. Jeff times his echo patterns in ways that they weave in and out of each other. It’s just fucking amazing. He’s the only person I know of that can do it this way.

[@Tooldruid]

@@DizzyDez613 100% agree...I was at an autograph signing w Adam Jones from Tool and he mentioned Jeff as one of the best in the biz w pedal effects.

[@timf3099]

'Sounds like they're using a lot of electronics (samplers, repeaters,pedal effects, etc.) to produce a really deep, layered sound. A lot of good mainstream bands have been 3-way ensembles: Rush, ZZ Top, for example, so it's not unusual.

[@sethdrouin3871]

​@@timf3099 Yeah, you've missed the point. Not debating there's a lot of good mainstream bands that are three pieces; certainly there are. My comment was about the ability of a three piece instrumental band to conjure mental imagery of a titanic scope. ZZ Top, to my knowledge, doesn't have any instrumentals, and Rush only has a few. La Villa Strangiato is perhaps in a similar category as Jakob's music in it's ability to invoke imagery in the mind, but other than that, I can't imagine how either of those bands are comparable to Jakob's sound, other than "they're a three piece."

[@yeahnahyeah]

It will always blow my mind how such an amazing kiwi band gets no air time by the national rock radio station

[@DizzyDez613]

Jakob should be the official national band of New Zealand. I live in Canada, so obviously they’re never on the radio here. I’m surprised to hear you say they don’t get much love back home either. Damned shame

[@Kyuss7311]

Absolutely agree!!!! These guys are fuxken epic!!! Amazing live 👌👌👌👌

[@kerryskilton3465]

Radio stations don't give a shit about music, that's why they play the same songs every single damn day . Their focus is on advertising only . . Though 95BFM is the exception

[@Nowhy]

Art is not for the radio, the radio is for people that hate anything that makes them feel.. A song: Little Eskimo Jesus - Lonely Tears

[@brandonbailey3705]

The radio stations/ media know their audience. Most people can’t handle anything that deviates to far from popular music

[@raakshasamael6588]

Saw them live on acid ,... best trip of my life

[@Rwhitsitt11]

Fantastic Atmospheric Sound that takes you too another world. Whats even more amazing is that this band comes from a little city called Napier in New Zealand.....Im proud to call my home city..even though Im living now on the other side of the world.....Jakob the band are real world class...congratulations to these three guys...

[@ukaszukasz7059]

This song is a masterpiece

[@DizzyDez613]

Not just New Zealand’s best kept secret, but the GLOBE’s best kept secret. These guys deserve all the success in the world. I was lucky to stumble upon these guys about 12-15 years ago. And they remain one of my favourite bands today. Love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@Jay-vc8qk]

The ending to this song, the crescendo...holy fuck...

[@leifdehio2151]

Just discovered Jakob by accident a couple of months ago and I'm absolutely blown away!

[@JohnBlunda]

I could listen to this song on a loop for hours and not get tired of it. It's beautiful.

[@Kyuss7311]

Same!!! And likewise with Laburnum 👌👌👌 actually all their tracks lol

[@the_terrorizer]

These dudes operate as one, they are a single being when playing together, it's hard to describe but it's something I rarely encounter. That crescendo towards the end is heavier than most of my favorite metal songs.

[@noshoof]

I listened to this track over and over again while writing my way through the end of the third book of the Angelus Trilogy. In many cases it sounded like the words I was putting to paper.

[@jdbandy52]

Also, the song writing / arrangement really puts it over. There's great feeling, vision, whatever. Just virtuoso playing would put them in a huge crowd with jazz pickers, prog wankers, etc. This song sounds better every time I listen to it. I've never liked ear pain but I'd really like to hear them playing loud enough to make my liver quiver.

You guys are pretty damn awesome. Along with "Animals as Leaders" and "Battles" you're creating the best music for me to cover long distances on a motorcycle alone in any weather, at night, in heavy traffic. Makes concentrating on driving way easier just through the simple idea that somebody can play so well and create tactile space with music alone. Best regards, hope you continue with your work!

Halfway in to the 2nd Jakob song I knew these guys were the shit. Soon after favorite band for 2 years. Then the hiatus. Then out of nowhere they come back with this masterpiece. What band takes 6? years off and comes back and continues exactly where they left off? no one. Jakob come back to San Diego mofos. I might help with financing.
