The Lonesome Organist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lonesome Organist is the One-man band side project of Jeremy Jacobsen, keyboardist for Chicago Post-rock combo, 5ive Style. According to All Music Guide, influences for the project include film composer, Ennio Morricone and Psychobilly legend, Hasil Adkins.
A multi-instrumentalist, Jacobsen, uses guitar, keys, harmonica, steel drum, and various percussion instruments to get his unique blend of blues, rock, garage, Caribbean, and Appalachian sounds.
According to Thrill Jockey's official artist site, no more than 8 tracks are recorded for each song, allowing Jacobsen to preserve the authenticity of his live show in which he simultaneously plays two or more instruments at once.
An updated recording of The Lost Oar (first recorded on 1997's Collector of Cactus Bag) can be found on 5ive Style's second full-length Miniature Portraits.
For his most recent full-length, Forms and Follies, Jacobsen added bassist Nick Marci of Bobby Conn and Euphone for two tracks.
