Jeremy Jay

Jeremy Jay is an American singer. He grew up to Los Angeles, speaking exclusively French. His first record "The Airwalker" EP came out in 2007 : it included a cover of a Siouxsie and the Banshees song, "Lunar Camel". The ep was described by Pitchfork as "cryptic, compelling short." with "half-crooned, half-spoken vocals into a bed of interlocking guitars, rigid beats, and analogue synths, creating an air of mystery out of disconnected images."
Jay's first album A Place Where We Could Go followed in 2008. In its review, Allmusic pictured his way of singing as a mix between Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, Morrissey and Alan Vega. Slow dance in 2009, was also critically acclaimed by Pitchfork. Jay spent the whole year touring, playing at several important festivals including Primavera Sound in Spain.
In 2010, Jay described his next album Splash as "Pavement meets Evol-era Sonic Youth played by Siouxsie Sioux".
