Victoria and Jacob - Copyright- Heloise Faure 2013 - 2303SMALL
After a stunning acoustic set complete with a string section at the Union Chapel in London last weekend, Victoria and Jacob release Cry Baby, the second single from their upcoming debut album today. It is available as a download from iTunes, Spotify and the like, and direct from the Fika shop too. The single comes complete with all 8 of the remixes, from talented folk such as Darren Hayman, Antwerp and Cosines amongst others.
Their debut album is available to pre-order now on both CD and LP - the latter in particular looks absolutely stunning, coming in a die cut sleeve on heavyweight 180gsm vinyl.
Victoria and Jacob are yet another new signing to Fika Recordings! We first came across them around this time last year when they sent us some sublime demos from their upcoming album. The frantic nature of running a record label alongside a full time day job took its toll, and that particular email slipped down the list of important-things-to-get-done-when-I-get_home-from-work, slightly forgotten. Roll on a few months and to an East London pub, sitting enjoying a few drinks with Trev from Oddbox Records, Darren Hayman and John from WIAIWYA, while we discussed ideas (ridiculous and not-so) and tinkered with Darren's Excel spreadsheets, talk turned to demos received and demos that had slipped through the net from bands that went on to Bigger Things... Several pints later, John and I had decided that we'd be working together on the Victoria and Jacob, having both fallen in love with those early demos tracks and neither of us quite having had time to do anything about it yet!
