Jeremy Jay (Jeremy C. Shaules) is an American musician and singer-songwriter.
History
Jay grew up in Los Angeles. His first release, the Airwalker EP appeared in 2007 courtesy of K Records. It included a cover of the Siouxsie and the Banshees song, "Lunar Camel." The EP was described by Pitchfork Media as "cryptic, compelling short" with "half-crooned, half-spoken vocals into a bed of interlocking guitars, rigid beats, and analogue synths, creating an air of mystery out of disconnected images."
His first full-length, A Place Where We Could Go followed in 2008. In its review, Allmusic pictured his way of singing as a mix between Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, Morrissey and Alan Vega.
In 2009, the singer released the critically acclaimed Slow Dance. To promote the release, he embarked on a tour throughout the year, including dates at the Primavera Festival.
In 2010, Jay described his third album Splash as "Pavement meets Evol-era Sonic Youth played by Siouxsie Sioux." Splash was released at the end of May : a tour was later cancelled due to health problems.
In spring 2011, Jay returned with a new album, Dreamy Diary which was a mix of indie-pop and alt-rock. He was compared to scottish band Belle and Sebastian.
