At Etiam is the debut Studio Album from emerging London based Instrumental Post Rock group JakkaL!
Painted with a collage of soundscapes, guitar textures and layered synths keys - occasional 60's BBC news samples (Above All) 1950's scientific experiments (Even Esotoria) and NASA broadcasts (The Silverton Breakdown) interject with both cautionary and optimistic dialogue, laying the ground for a variety of haunted spaces and suspenseful build ups.
Melancholic piano melodies dip in and out of a serene yet unstable ambience, spanning from frayed layers to the focussed and driven conformity of heavily driven guitars and synths loops.
The samples chosen echo historical endeavours for scientific innovation, the challenges faced searching for social equality and journeys of self empowerment.
The work takes a journey through the social conflicts between sinicism and hope, but ultimately an optimistic hum runs through the core of the album that seems to champion the unsung triumph of hopeful resolve.
JakkaL are: Joseph Edge (guitars, bass, keys) and Joel Britto (Synths, keys). Produced by Joe Reeves Recording ltd.
Following their debut Studio single 'Mycelium', released in December 2021, the group spent the next year recording and mixing 7 new tracks with Producer Joe Reeves.
