Jacob & Drinkwater have come a long way since their first gig together in a tea tent at Glastonbury 2014, cementing their reputation as one of the most enthralling live acts on the scene.

Building on the success of their first studio album, This Old River (2019), More Notes From The Field is a significant achievement for Jacob & Drinkwater: an album that digs deep creatively and emotionally but is also beautiful and accessible.

The album opens with the near title track, More Notes. It’s a gentle, witty preface that reflects on a life on the road as touring musicians. After the acoustic opening verse, the chorus is lifted by Lukas Drinkwater’s evocative and electric guitar.
Lukas really makes a mark with the arrangements and instrumentation, not only with harmonious backing vocals but also electric and double bass, guitars, various keyboards, drums and percussion. A talented chap, he is also canny enough to use his diverse abilities to best serve and elevate the songs.

All eleven tracks are written by Tobias ben Jacob (guitar and vocals), mostly in isolation over the last few years in his adopted home of Poland (he originally hails from Lancashire). The material ranges from poignant vignettes of modern life, such as the touching Nowhere On Sea about loneliness in a rundown seaside town, to more mystical songs like Golden Man. The latter is one of the more traditional folky-sounding songs on the album. It tells of someone (the narrator) taking a spiritual journey to a valley, there to encounter the titular figure (‘a giant… part spirit and part wild’). Packed with biblical and mythical allusions ‘a voice in the wilderness’ who ‘asks you to repent’ who has shaken ‘the scales from his eyes’. It’s enigmatic enough to confound any specific interpretation but remains spellbinding.
