Jacob Alon: In Limerence review – dreamy story songs of myth and melancholy
The GuardianFriday, May 30, 2025 at 7:30:47 AM
Jacob Alon's debut album In Limerence is a hauntingly beautiful collection of indie-folk songs that balance dreamy storytelling with deep melancholy. While the music occasionally dips into familiar territory, Alon’s raw, introspective delivery—especially their voice and delicate guitar work—creates a powerful sense of isolation and longing. The album’s title hints at intense desire, but the mood leans more toward loneliness, making for a striking contrast.
Editor’s Note: For indie-folk fans, this is a debut worth paying attention to—Alon’s emotional honesty and stripped-down sound carve out a distinct space, even if some moments feel a bit predictable. It’s the kind of album that lingers, perfect for late-night listening when you’re in the mood for something quietly devastating.
