The support from high end publications includes Complex, High Snobiety, Dancing Astronaut, Ones To Watch, Your EDM, This Song Is Sick, Magnetic Magazine and EDM Identity, to name a few.  As he embarks on his new journey, Jerry Folk finds inspiration in artists from the Soulection roster, Toro Y Moi, James Blake, Majid Jordan and Flume. His new sound draws to mind a unique combination of FKJ, Kaytranada and Toro Y Moi.

 

Flirting with organic driven electronica, Jerry Folk boldly mixes unusual sounds and entwines them into a nature riddled mind-tease. With a bassline to rule the heartbeat and a driving rhythmic beat that encapsulates complexities, ‘Everything’ creates its own little corner of the market, as it lends itself to reinterpretation and repeat listens. The video, directed by Thomas Flått, is an uncomplicated view into one relaxing evening, surrounded by the company of good friends and an irresistible beat. 

Jerry Folk tells us about the creation of the single: “I made this single a couple of years ago at a time where I was experiencing a little overwhelming sadness and locked myself in the studio to make music that made me feel better. I was very inspired by music videos and nature at the time and wanted to capture how I felt and create a universe for the feeling to exist in. This kickstarted my idea for the album and the idea for my new side project, Fengsel. The single, album and side project will all be involved in my debut album called Fengsel.”
