You might remember a few weeks ago we told you about Sentimental Journey, a compilation from the good folks at Memorials of Distinction where they bought copies of the BGM comp of the same name and replaced the songs with something a little more up-to-date.
Well today we bring you a stream of Jake Rollins’ contribution to said compilation. If you are unfamiliar with his work, Rollins is a Boston-based musician who makes lovably lo-fi indie rock. As we said in our review of his album Spend a Few, Make a Few, “[He’s] the kind who makes music because it’s lots and lots of fun, which… is as good a reason as any to do just about anything”. ‘Figure It Out’ is no exception, a vaguely tropical surf rock/Brit pop hybrid smothered in reverb, the vocals swimming through the instrumentation to give a gloriously languid long summer feel, where problems are indistinct things that only carry weight in the distant future.
Sentimental Journey is set for release on the 20th April and you can pre-order it now from the Memorials of Distinction Bandcamp page. There are only 25 cassette available so be quick! For more of Jake Rollins, check out his Bandcamp page.
