Night time rules. There are a few factors that contribute to this well-revered and world renowned opinion, like sleeping or urban exploring or having sex with other people. Ultimately though, the night time is the best time because it cultivates an entirely different energy. As the sun disappears and the moon rises, the earth is washed in a certain stillness. It's a special moment; one of beauty, change, and centering. Or if you're a musician and not some entry-level hippy who has bought too many incense sticks from Urban Outfitters and studied a life-threatening amount of horoscopes, night time is when all the best music gets made."The night evokes a certain clarity in my brain. I hear music clearer at night," explains Jerkcurb, whose debut single "Night on Earth" we're premiering below. Certainly, the south London artist comes from the same twilight zone as the likes of King Krule, who we spotted him playing with a few years ago. It's here, in the darkness and the waning rays of moonlight that Jerkcurb's music makes the most sense. It's for all those drunken walks home, where you feel like you're living in cinema. It's for the end of the night dance. In some weird, dark but beautiful way, it's what you can imagine playing as the Titanic sank into the ocean and lovers held dearly onto each other, waiting for death to come and swoop them into serenity. All of which is to say, Jerkcurb's music is devastatingly pretty, it is made for the big moments, and someone should go ahead and put it in a film soundtrack already.
