We’re very excited to announce Jakku’s debut EP “Fashion” out on all platforms today. Vinyls in bio.
Jakku are Per Ingvaldur Højgaard Petersen and Bárður Næs both born and raised on the Faroe Islands. On their debut EP “Fashion” they unveil their unique take on dark, spiritual electronica locked to chopped up traditional singing from the Faroes as well as other corners of the world. Their creations can be a painful listen but at the same time hopeful. Jakku have labelled it Kingodub after a primeval form of hymn singing which is still practiced on the isles. Expect deep, heavy beats with ancient marching and chanting.
Jakku will play a release show tonight at at 10pm. We want to urge everyone to come.
Written and produced by Bárður Næs and Per Ingvaldur Højgaard Petersen at Kontórið, Tórshavn.
Ekki Ekki and New World Order co-produced and co-arranged by Jens L. Thomsen
Mixed by Jens L. Thomsen at Dartmouth Place, London.
Mastered by Jason Goz at Transition Mastering, London.
