We first caught wind of Douglas last autumn where he released debut single "Strawberry Salesman" through the fledgling Stockholm / London based label Talent Is Luck. A debut EP - Look Out From Schmidt - followed shortly after but went largely unnoticed. A work in progress, Jacob has spent the past 12 months developing his craft and has returned, almost unrecognisable, with a song that deserves a lot more than just a quick glancing listen. 
 A slow burning torch song, "Hellion" posseses the very same 'magic' that runs in the DNA of his transatlantic counterparts of say, Bon Iver, The Acorn and The Antlers . Restraint, control and release: it's a technicolored, dazzling display of songcraft with each second dripping with melancholy and longing. /Rich Thane, The Line Of Best Fit
