JEREMY JAY

When Jeremy was 14, he began playing in high school bands with schoolmates, performing to packed venues in the area. Seeing her son’s devotion to music, Jeremy’s mother bought him an eight-track reel-to-reel recorder, which he used to make recordings in a studio that he built in the family garage.

When Jeremy was 18 he moved to Portland, Oregon, where he met Calvin Johnson, Beat Happening singer and founder of K Records, the label he later signed to and has now released 5 of his albums including 2011’s Dream Diary. 

After performing at Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona, the El Segell record label released the album Demons in 2018. Switchblade Sound out of London has released the albums; Dangerous Boys (2019), Devils Daughters (2021) and the new album September Strangers (2022).

THE MIDNIGHT AUDIENCE

The Midnight Audience. A sonic pursuit consisting of existential echoes. Space is created and played within. Psychological processes transition across and through. The sound of what came before now yells to the future. The Audience acts as a space in between, listeners are thrust from one mental room to another. From memory to recollection to an uncanny threshold. Corridors of psychic whirling find melody in disharmony and order in chaos. This is The Midnight Audience.
