PRESS NOTES:
Jacob Faurholt (born Nov. 6, 1978) is one of Denmark’s most prolific songwriters. He has released 10 albums, both solo and with his more experimental project Crystal Shipsss.
Mostly DIY on his own label Raw Onion Records.
Halloween Pumpkin is the single (out March 1st) from Faurholt's upcoming EP Sad People (out March 29th on Raw Onion Records). It's a slow burning ballad that mixes Halloween imagery with a tale of love. Very fittingly released 7 months prior to the month of Halloween.
Sad People is a short collection of sparse, tense folk songs recorded live with a few overdubs in Faurholt’s home studio in Aarhus, Denmark. The recordings rough and mildly experimental character might bring early Bright Eyes or Will Oldham’s Palace Music to mind. Faurholt recorded and mixed the songs himself, in between his day job as a teacher, and spending time with his wife and 2-year-old daughter. In the end it was mastered by the Canadian producer Andy Magoffin (Great Lake Swimmers, Royal City). In the spring of 2019 Faurholt will record a new full length album. This will take place in a recording studio with musicians from his hometown of Aarhus. A contrast to the lonely and intimate sound of Sad People.
