Wastelands 03:48
Cast away your trenches Drop your arms and lift me up again Free yourself from madness Stand your ground, heave your mind and turn with me Before all of this falls apart No more Days like these Gone to waste I'm afraid of everything Lure me in then cast me off You break my bones to fix me till You lift me up and drop me down I sink my pride, you pour it out My self-esteem is caving While the rage inside is driving me crazy Oh, save me from the wastelands When all of this has become Voices in the void

Call me out And when you do so, try not to rush my pace So I can try to make up my mind If I do so I'll try not to feel ashamed You think you know me? You better show me In ways that I can take It's only natural, you see Words can collide And I can't deny I'm breaking Call me out When you do so, try not to rush my pace So I can try to make up my mind If I do so I'll try hard to beat the shame If only you could show me That trust is all it takes It's only natural, you see Words can collide And I can't deny I'm such a ... Rub them in my face, I'm gonna shake them Sleeping in my bed I'm gonna crush them Demons in my ears, kill them all My memories still taste bitter And my energies drift and shiver While I hear myself tripping on the stereo Call me out When you do so, try not to rush my pace Oh, I will try to make up my mind But even if I do so it's never gonna be the same

Dracula 03:56
Hold up Fading out I don’t care if I like you You could be here in a minute One last time and then I’m quitting And I’m so tired of waging war with you Cut off the noise for a minute Light as air, it’s got me swinging Spilling the waste till nothing I have feels truly mine And when it’s gone there’s always more Hold up Fading out I don’t care if I ain’t like you Take my hand Deep down I know I’ll bite again If you could be here in a minute One last time before I’m quitting Spilling the waste till nothing I have feels truly fine And when we’re done there’s nothing more When we’re done there’s nothing more

Sexdroom 03:57 video
Keep on cheating on you In my dreams I cannot hide We only lie when we don’t know Till we know better Keep on cheating myself In my dreams I’ll turn the tide First we slide then we go slow Out of sight is where I’ll go Top down, just to get you higher If you’d know what I know would it stop making me a liar? Top down, fuelling the desire Why’d you wanna play it cool if we can’t avoid a fire? Keep on cheating myself In my dreams I’ll turn the tide First we slide then we go slow Out of sight is where I’ll go Top down, just to get you higher If you’d know what I know would it stop making me a liar? Top down, fuelling the desire Why’d you wanna play it cool if we can’t avoid a fire? Worlds of clay I only wanna come out to play We’ll shape until we all fit in Worlds of clay I only found one reason to stay We’ll shape until we all Top down, just to get you higher Top down, just to get you higher Top down, fuelling the desire Top down, just to get you higher x2 I wake up all alone, wait for you to come home x3

Wear 03:44
You're gone and I don’t feel pretty Been eating much but it all keeps on tasting shitty I already know for a long time I’ll never get along with myself better than we did Words don’t work When you don’t fear making it worse You collect what’s left And I’ll breathe out the fact That I already know for a long time I’ll never get along with myself better than we did Losing myself again Leave me here

Hometown 02:48
Small town the city’s close to My hometown where time is frozen Used to feel at home in my small town But your heart’s so fucking cold Never felt good in this fucking suit And we don’t talk that much So I’ll just stay in my room My room for thought but where’s the room for change I love the air but I just can’t breathe in my My hometown, hometown Small town, oh so sick of my Hometown, about to leave My hometown, my hometown Hometown, hometown Small town, so homesick for my Hometown, my hometown I need a place where I can stay, where I can die in silence I need a place where I'd feel safe to try my enemies If this is what you wanted, violence You don't deserve my harm

Windstopper 02:10
Time moves, we both grow You were a friend but now I know No trouble at all when I went just with your flow Now the weather’s so bad it tears our road Time moves, we both grow older You were a friend but now it gets colder No trouble at all when I went just with your flow Send me when you get home and I’ll say goodbye

Atlas 03:07 video
You say it's complicated, just to be my friend I see it's getting late, you're too tired to play pretend Because you hate it that i'm not ready to learn (but you don't know) I'm in pain and I'm too broke to return (for a long while) I'm getting paranoid, you don't want to be my friend (anymore) I'm feeling miserable and I'm too stubborn to make amends I know it's my mistake if I get the words wrong and I do all the time I hear you think a lot of things that make no sense and that I can't rely on You hate it that I'm not ready to learn (but you don't know) I'm in pain and I'm too broke to return (for a long while) Such a strange feeling Why ... you got to treat me like this? In many ways it's eventually starting to show How you'll break away and strangle my soul on the go You hate it that I'm not ready to learn (but you don't know) I'm in pain and I'm too broke to return (for a long while) But hold on because I'm ready to learn How to pave my way onto roads I want to return to

Plumb 02:42
Kick it out, suspiciously arousing my doubt with such a nice plot I want to be part of your schemes, dream big until your dreams bring you down It's been a few days since you've gone away Left me stranded at the shores of a wrong phase It's written in the stars that your heart 'd stray Driven by the words that you couldn't say I saw (falling out of hope we could save us) On your face (falling out of hope we could save us) Some things (falling out of hope we could save us) Some say (falling out of hope we could save us), are to Kick it out, wanting to be part of your team until your house drowns Got to let go of all your schemes, dream big until your fears bring you down Falling out of hope we could save us x4

Taxi 03:21
Every second is too long Waiting for what’s ending wrong Could be easy crossing the sharpest line How we feel both gross and objectified Paralysed by shades of confession Let’s make it a mess, leave no trace Gaze is fixed tightly on the tracks, I’m thriving Keep spinning around, lately I won’t fight it I’m ready to leave it and spare some Flashing lights, weights pressing down my feet So tired but I won’t let my Eyes blink till I lose all sense of speed Back home, I’m no longer longing for A sunrise and a trunk full of skin and bones All I wish for, get rid of all my thrones Let’s leave it to thirst for bloodshed I’d be eager to wash away all my thoughts With thorns and meadows

about

JAKOMO is a Brussels-based band that transforms their turbulent twenties into a sound they call suave rock.

The band found its origin in frontman Julien Tanghe's bedroom, where he and his social anxiety withdrew themselves to create music. It didn’t take long to find his musical partner in Wout Vermijs (guitar), who also brought the whole visual aspect of the band to life. Match made in heaven! With also Jef Ballon (bass) on board, the band soon played Dour, Botanique and Ancienne Belgique. A well-deserved place in the finals of Humo's Rock Rally 2020 followed a few months later and they impressed everybody with their debut EP ‘Fastbreak'.

With the release of their latest singles "Call Me Out”, “Sexdroom” and "Atlas" JAKOMO is clearly taking big steps without losing their playful lo-fi character. This is partly thanks to the collaboration with producer Michiel De Maeseneer (Balthazar, Sylvie Kreusch, Nordmann...). During their week in the studio, their energies dynamically blended into an eclectic mix of catchy melodies, alternative hooks and groovy rhythms.
