Jakob Battick‘s 4-song album, Heavy The Mountains, Heavy Are The Seas is now available for purchase/download (with bonus demo/alt/preview tracks included) on Bandcamp. It is also the new featured album right here on HillyTown for the next week. This is not an easy album: the songs are long, dark, and often meandering at times, but ultimately rewarding. It’s a good introduction to just one side of Jakob Battick (& Friends), who has shown himself to be a strong rising talent in the Portland music scene.
See for yourself tonight at SPACE Gallery, as JB&F opens for Brooklyn’s (excellent, and previously sadly overlooked in town) La Strada.
