Someday Jacob - Oxygen Will Flow (2020)

Bremen / Hamburg based band Someday Jacob made a name for themselves with the album It Might Take A While (2015). The quartet lead by singer, songwriter and guitarist Jörn Schlüter combines the feeling of California’s golden sun, circa 1972, with the barren romanticism of North Germany. On their previous record, Everybody Knows Something Good (2017), they turned their songwriter folk toward a more 70s orientated soft rock and Westcoast pop, with the help of producer and mixer Ryan Hewitt (Johnny Cash, Avett Brothers, Red Hot Cilli Peppers).

The new album, Oxygen Will Flow, is a different matter. Produced in Germany and the UK, Oxygen Will Flow, introduces flutes, clarinets and saxophones, adding them to a more organic and impressionistic sound that digs deeper, though maintaining their love for classic folk, strong melodies and an amazing warmth.
