Jess By The Lake - the solo project of Jasmin Saarela, known as the enigmatic leader of the cult band Jess And The Ancient Ones - reveals the new track "Legacy Crown", which can be heard in the player below. The track hails from Jess By The Lake's debut album, Under The Red Light Shine, set for international release on 7th June via Svart Records.
To be released under the moniker Jess By The Lake, the solo album Under The Red Light Shine is a more down-to-earth take on the traditions of rock music than the acid-heavy guitar walls and cosmic dimensions of her main band. Jess By The Lake's building blocks are more organic, with a focus on nature mysticism and a curiously Finnish brand of melancholy. The music flows unrestrained, with a few tasteful nods to genre forebearers such as Danzig or David Bowie hidden here and there.
Saarela considers the album a paean to nature and the human mind, also to an indescribable longing, so well known to all romantic artists of the past centuries. "I named the project based on the fact that I've lived by a lake for more or less my entire lake", she reveals. "I've grown in the forest and felt a strong, unchanged bond with nature through the years." Link
