The track comes as a delightful introduction to Alon’s unique sound and emotional storytelling. Reverberating with nuanced melodies and thoughtful lyricism, the single showcases their soaring, Buckley-esque vocals and intricate acoustic guitar work.
The journey of Jacob Alon is reflective of resilience and creativity. Having grown up in Fife, Alon faced challenges including estrangement and homelessness before finding community within Edinburgh's vibrant music scene.
