I think we have some whisky too. How about that?<\/div><\/h2>\n

I arrive at Privatklub<\/a>, Berlin, after a pizza from a nearby fast good place, just as Jakob and his band are starting.

The set is mostly made up of previously unheard material but I recognise and sing along to his three beautifully tropical, lo-fi tracks which are already out.<\/p>\n

After the show we begin talking about how the interview came to pass: a mutual friend of ours, the brilliant Josh Christopher (of IYES<\/a> and WEIRDO+CO<\/a>), set us up.<\/p>\n

Jakob speaks delicately, has his long hair tied back, painted nails which are slightly chipped and exudes\u00a0sincerity and curiosity. After meeting him in person and seeing his album artwork,\u00a0I\u2019m curious about what kind of aesthetic will be present in his music videos.<\/p>\n[separator type=”thick”]\n
