Jake Bugg — Jake Bugg

Jake Bugg

 

It has been a gargantuan year for young Jake Bugg.  A mere 18-years of age, his first two singles have already sparked comparisons with Bob Dylan.

Forget about all the over manufactured pop artists plaguing the music industry, there’s something fresh and promising for 2012.

Album opener Lightning Bolt shows a strong Beatles influence, catchy and bursting full of self-assurance. Stand out track Someone Told Me features acoustic fingerpicking highlighting the country-esque impression.  The wavering melody and lullaby feel of Broken adds a modern twist on folk, injected with Bugg’s brit-pop influences. Humble, relatable lyrics and skilled instrumentation work together to make a strong, cohesive record.
