Jacob Alon: ‘Not being able to express myself was killing me’
Yet despite, and perhaps, in some ways, because of the hurdles, Jacob Alon is making beautiful, generational music from a place of total truth. Their Brits win will likely mean a lot to a lot of people; it’s the sort of moment that might change lives for a kid exactly like they were, sitting in a little town, trying to figure it all out. Before the big night though, Alon is off to Reykjavik to start sowing the seeds of LP2. “I’m going to spend some time among the geysers and the little taverns. Iceland is a place that’s filled with this very mischievous sense of magic,” they smile. Alon, you suspect, will fit in there just fine.
