]]> Introducing the self-titled album by Jacob Faurholt back in August, we described how the release sees the Danish songwriter strip his sound right back to the bare essentials. A stark style which “finds him at his most restrained and vulnerable” as he explores the fragility of love within a wider of experience of turmoil and dread. That is, a record for our times, where our small personal affections are set against a range of doom-laden backdrops, and existential thoughts are never far out of mind. First single ‘Painfully Alone’ brought this mood to life, highlighting the twin threads of melancholy and romance which twist through the record, Faurholt’s vocals joined by those of his wife Nadia.

With the record’s release now a week away, Faurholt has shared new single and album opener ‘It’s the End of the World’. As immediate and compassionate as its predecessor, the song lives up to its title as it probes into the rising tide of apocalyptic moods within the present moment. But rather than dealing with the subject matter via frantic unease or Biblical heft, Faurholt instead paints a picture altogether smaller and more intimate. The end times as experienced in real time, where the lights are set low and homely and the ones you love are still in the kitchen preparing dinner.

Jacob Faurholt will be released on the 24th November via Raw Onion Records and you can pre-order it now from Bandcamp, including a green/black marbled vinyl edition.
