Jakob The Liar-H E A R T B E A T
Jakob The Liar might be a great persona name, for the titular character framing itself. To be a musician or not to be, is the question. I say music runs through this man. Composing eclectic melodies that create a fusion of many elements, you can’t put him in a box. He’ll find a way to make a beat with it. Melodies run through his blood. So maybe you can hear it in his H E A R T B E A T. That is his single, and the spaces are important. In a way, they signify the ever pulsating organ, and its constant desires. Read it as the white spaces alone, and you might understand what I mean. There is a drive, to make something worthwhile. This is why his song starts off with a literal heartbeat. Melding it into the percussion of the song, the lyrics feel like they are written in blood. There is an honesty and vulnerability to the words that have poetic pain in them. As the ink dries, you can read it for what it might be. The energy builds, and cascades into this rock number merged with the choicest of chords, flourishes and vocal runs. It is unlike anything you’ve heard before. And I’m no Liar. There was a forgotten energy in the movie Lovebirds, that was lacking with the soundtrack itself. Maybe this kind of writing and performance, might have actually acknowledged the fun-loving movie it was. There is a truth to this kind of music from Jakob The Liar that makes you tear up. Listen to his 2020 EP Crystallised in Moonshine to know what I mean. Follow him if you want music that gives you goosebumps!

Jakob The Liar - Wake up Mr. Kupferberg (Enterlude)
Jakob The Liar’s Wake up Mr. Kupferberg (Enterlude) is a surreal, shape-shifting portal that doesn’t just open an album — it tears open a new dimension. Minimal, eerie, and steeped in shadow, this introductory track sets the tone for the wild, unpredictable terrain that follows in the full-length album Wake up Mr. Kupferberg. With its ominous, looping keys and unnerving vocal manipulations, the track feels more like a séance than a song — an invocation of something prophetic, strange, and deeply psychological. Jakob’s voice enters like a narrator from the underworld, morphing in and out of a demonic presence. It's the sonic equivalent of a dream you can’t wake up from — part oracle, part inner monologue, part horror movie villain. Then, just when you think it can’t get weirder, a robotic flight attendant voice alerts you that your boarding gate for your flight has been changed, heightening the sense that you’re not listening to an album but entering an altered reality simulation. The track would feel right at home as the intro to a psychological cyber-thriller like Mr. Robot — where lines blur between reality and delusion, and the protagonist’s internal chaos becomes the lens for systemic rebellion. As an “enterlude,” it’s a bold artistic move — abstract, unnerving, and totally engrossing. Jakob The Liar is clearly not interested in traditional storytelling or safe musical tropes. He’s constructing a sonic world, and this track is the warped gateway. It doesn't just ask you to listen — it dares you to surrender. If you’re looking for an easy listen, turn back now. But if you’re ready for the rabbit hole, Mr. Kupferberg is calling.
