Josh Jacobson Announces 'Tethered', Debut EP Due Out September
By: Caryn Robbins Jun. 15, 2017
On Friday, June 30, Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter/producer/instrumentalist-JOSH JACOBSON-releases the second single, "Tethered," from his highly anticipated debut EP, First Light. "Tethered" bridges together JACOBSON's soulful vocals revealing truths of a tangled romance, with dreamy tones developed simply by bells, trumpet, violin, and synths. It's the perfect showcase of his uncanny ability to project his innermost thoughts through a blissful stream of post-electronic vibes.
The EP acts as a gateway into the inner workings of JACOBSON during an emotionally impactful time in his life--relating to his fans in an organic way without having to reveal details beyond the emotion of each song. "Tethered" follows suit in this capacity, as JACOBSON says: "Tethered" is at its core a song about coming to terms with the fact that even the most meaningful connections can be temporary...but on a deeper level it's about the whole concept of learning to live in a state of constant flux.Listen to "Polaroids" (the first single from First Light), here:

Having already toured across the country with First Light--from his first SXSW in Austin, TX and Miami Music Week (where he headlined the grand-opening of Floyd, a speakeasy club under Space), to headlining a Northside Festival showcase at Knitting Factory Brooklyn on Saturday (6/10)--JACOBSON has been able to prove hit talent beyond symbolic lyricism and production, but as a mesmerizing sensation on-stage as well. Stay tuned for future First Light tour dates to be announced soon.
