Jakob writes songs. The kind of autobiographical songs that have been compaired to "diary entries" — the kind with a pink fun-fur cover and a lock on the side. Also "Lonely music for lonely people by a lonely person." The kind of songs that make his mom and his ex's uncomfortable. Jacob records these songs under the name Urbane Decay. Jakob is also known, psychedelically, as Heavy Moon / Moonwood (see Urbane Decay's top friends).
Thanks, man! Really diggin these tunes. "Lunatic and Saturnine" is my fave. Your music is very reminiscent of the Postal Service and Say Hi, but still distinctly Urbane.
