JERKCURB	Night Fishing On A Calm Lake	CD	HANDSOME DAD RECORDS	HCD 022CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/19/2025 South London's Jerkcurb -- aka Jacob Read -- is back with his sophomore album Night Fishing On A Calm Lake is to be released following 2019's Air Con Eden. After that album's successful release Read had planned to expand Jerkcurb into a full band setup when his father, a painter like himself and a creative inspiration, passed away. Instead of the envisioned plan of taking his project bigger Read returned to the family home and re-examined the material for the new album and instead the album became one of reflection, grief and redemption. It's not much of a stretch to see clear musical inspirations for the record too -- Prefab Sprout, Talk Talk and The Blue Nile, records where the moments of silence are stretched out. Read produced and engineered the album himself, mostly at home with Lara Laeverenz and Gray Rimmer providing vocals. The album is mixed by Dilip Harris (King Krule, Mount Kimbie). The enchanting cover artwork was painted at Read's father's studio in Camberwell, painted in oil with its dreamlike blur of blue and black. It hints at the early film noir and magical realist influences for the album. Also available on black vinyl (HCD 022LP) and coke bottle green color vinyl (HCD 022E-LP).

JERKCURB	Air Con Eden	2LP	HANDSOME DAD RECORDS	HD 020LP
$31.00 NOT IN STOCK Gatefold double LP version. South East London songwriter and visual artist Jerkcurb has today announced his hotly-anticipated debut album Air Con Eden. The culmination of several years of intense creative focus, Air Con Eden reflects on Jerkcurb instigator Jacob Read's recent real-life events, losses and tragedies as well as more cryptic, fictitious perspectives, and surreal adopted personalities. The record's euphoric lead single "Timelapse Tulip" arrives alongside today's news -- accompanied by a stunning, intricate 3D animated video courtesy of a collaboration between Read, director Gilbert Bannerman, and production designer Theo Boswell. Having fully emerged in 2016 with the flourishing "Night On Earth" -- a streaming hit with 2,700,000 spins to date -- and subsequent tracks "Voodoo Saloon" and "Little Boring Thing", there's been a growing sense of an artist climbing into maturity with each succeeding release, video and gig laying the foundations for Jerkcurb's burgeoning cult status. Indeed, Read has been heavily immersed in his art and animation all the while, exhibiting at the Tate Britain and also being commissioned by them to create a promo for their installation "Aftermath: Art in the Wake of World War One" and drawing praise from "It's Nice That" along the way. There's a near impossible richness to Read's songwriting form on Air Con Eden, with its as-yet-unheard title track offering perhaps the clearest distillation of the record's predominant theme: time at its malleable and fraught. Inspired by Victor Gruen -- the pioneering designer of shopping malls in the United States -- Read unpacks the idea of being trapped in an eternity that feels like an endless present tense, the passing of the seasons reduced to a standstill in a pristine shopping mall; a symbol of both stasis and comfort; an Eden without the possibility of an ending.
