Jacob Gurevitsch - In Search Of Lost Time (2019)

Music For Dreams is thrilled to announce the release of Jacob
Gurevitsch' second album 'In Search of Lost Time'. In the past
few years, the Danish composer and guitar virtuoso has
channeled his melodic sensibility into some of the most streamed
guitar tracks in the world. More than 4 million monthly video
streams alone, with the 'Lovers in Paris' video on some 20M
views.
For long-time followers though, it's no surprise that audiences
are connecting so easily with his music. Jacob's Spanish guitar
is equal parts technique and feeling. His door into music is a
deep passion, a flair for romantic interpretation and a very
well-developed melodic understanding. His influences are vast
and diverse - a drop of Argentina, old Italian movies and early
morning forest walks in Spain.
On 'In Search of Lost Time', his songwriting is more refined,
while his melodic universe is distilled into landscapes
increasing in detail from his debut. As the title reveals,
nostalgia is an overarching theme of the record, on which Jacob
explores both personal memories and historical periods through
his enigmatic, rose-tinted lens.
Most importantly, Jacob still isn't afraid to pour himself into
his work, which comes through as an unmistakably authentic and
heartfelt touch on each track. Take the Mediterranean- flavoured
'Poesia De La Mar', an emotional voyage of the sea, enriched by
soulful accordions or 'Ei Sham Baofek', a contemplative piece
accompanied by Erann DD, which oozes melancholy.
On 'Besame Mucho', one of the most famous of classic Mexican
boleros, is given the Jacob Gurevitsch treatment. 'Zsa-Zsa' and
the latest single 'Sand of Joshua' are nice, tranquil guitar
pieces that sit nicely alongside the jazzy Toots
Thielemans-vibey 'Joséphine Avec Les Yeux Fermés'. Finally, both
the upbeat, well-received
single 'Motive Loco' and the elegiac and cinematic opus title
track are sure to stick around in your head long after
listening. Two future classics, we're sure.
