Releases New Single "In This Lonely Town"
Jeremy Jay is a mixture of a storyteller, artist and singer. Following a series of 7" singles, he released his debut LP, A Place Where We Could Go on K in Spring 2008 to rave reviews. Currently, he splits his time between living in Paris and Los Angeles, the dream cities of the French New Wave and Hollywood. Similar to films, Jeremy identifies with the visual stories of life and love, and touches on everything human; he is always in the process of writing and recording, playing the guitar and taking long walks. Jeremy is getting acquainted to living in Paris, but still draws much of his inspiration from the films of iconic American teen auteur John Hughes.
With his new single “Love Everlasting” and full-length Slow Dance (both released by K), Jeremy has created his own brand of urgent pop music that fits perfect in the house parties and punk rock clubs that he prefers to play. In 2009 Jeremy will be touring Europe, the USA, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.

Pitchfork Premiere’s “Lite Beam”
Pitchfork Review (7.7) : “Slow Dance uses crisp garage-rock and frigid post-punk as a backdrop for romanticized pop fantasy.” :
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/12832-slow-dance/
Spin Magazine 3 1/2 Stars : “The stripped-down, synth-and-guitar indie pop on this oddly spellbinding second album from Los Angeles singer-songwriter Jeremy Jay could be the Cars minus the dreams of chart glory and bloated studio budget.”
The Fader : Jeremy Jay manages to capture teen melancholy without sounding like he's in the middle of puberty. The best example of this is on Jay's new album Slow Dance is "Where Could We Go Tonight," the closing track, which is ostensibly about driving around aimlessly with your friends.

The Tripwire : “It is the dance track you find yourself moving to when the room starts spinning in slow motion, when nothing good will come from being awake, yet something interesting inevitably does.”
