As if it wasn't enough to be a part of the Dan Deacon Ensemble, Dope Body, and Holy Ghost Party, David Jacober ventured into creating a solo project with wonderfully weird results.
Known for his skills as a percussionist, David Jacober, puts his talents at work in his first album, "Water Karaoke", which has some of his recordings from the past three years, a few done with the help of Dan Frome. His solo identity, Jacober, concocts experimental, musical jungle for us to roam in. Through mysterious clicking sounds, watery tones that create murky puddles that cover the sound of drums, and vocals with nearly indistinguishable lyrics, "Water Karaoke" builds a fantasy land around you where the stars grow green stalks that flourish on the forest floor and vines of blue and purple wrap themselves around trees as tall as giants.

More engaging than most experimental music, Jacober's album draws you in rather than shocking you into falling into the music. Songs like "BUTTER" flow in an instrumental, charcoal line hand-drawn by an illustrator. Get lost in a soup of ambiguity and metaphor now, and download "Water Karaoke" here.
