Listen: Jake Downs - Crave + Pleasure Past [New Single]

Words: Saam Das

Today sees the release of the new single from classically trained boy wonder Jake Downs, following last year's excellent debut single 'Seize The Water'. His welcome return again gloriously echoes the likes of Patrick Wolf and Owen Pallet through the majestic vocals and sweeping orchestration.

Surfacing: Jake Downs [New Artist]

Words: Saam Das

I'm not quite sure why 18 year old multi-instrumentalist Jake Downs has had so little coverage - all the more so as his particularly splendid debut single, 'Seize The Water', was released earlier this month. His inspiring orchestral pop sound brings to mind the likes of Patrick Wolf, Owen Pallett and Beirut. Listen to the A-side and B-side, 'The Prince' below.
