TRACKS
ABOUT
A new duo mishmashing jazz, pop, and folk to bring you lush, glitchy songs and random experimental noises.
Limpet Space Race are Niko O'Brien and Hannah (Jakes) Jacobs, who currently live in Oxford running a recording studio, eco music festival, and Upcycled Sounds Record label. Niko is a sound engineer for film, documentary, and music, and spends most of his time chasing strange noises from surround sound installations to recording in sewers and up mountains. Jakes is a musician who accidentally founded a sustainability organization and has just escaped back to a life of arranging, producing, wonky time signatures, and feminist sea shanties. Their band involves a lot of multitasking with vocals, keyboard, guitar, drums, homemade instruments, and random percussive junk, to create wonky downtempo grooves and intricate soundscapes.
For fans of Joan as Policewoman, Joni Mitchell, Jon Hopkins, Becca Stevens, Rachael Dadd, Bibio, Tame Impala, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Pentangle, Juana Molina, and Dirty Projectors.
If the music thing doesn’t work out, Plan B is to get a limpet into space.
‘Magical’
‘Music is smooth and mellifluous like minty lemonade on a South Carolina summer.’
‘Something weird is going on with your music. I can’t work out what it is, but I like it.’
