Indie icon Jordan Dean returns with stunning new EP ‘Local’
Cleveland based indie artist Jordan Dean returns with an exceptional new EP called ‘Local‘ – that could easily resonate with Jamie T and Arctic Monkeys fans across the globe.
Fuelled with sing-along melodies and garage-infused instrumentation, “Local” is distinctly Jordan Dean’s even though it’s influenced by other artists.
Bathed in originality and personality, “Local” is armed with pure charisma.
Talking about the production process, Jordan Dean mentions, “I told my producer that I wanted to sound like a four-piece band that packed a 300-person venue and I feel like we accomplished that on the Local EP.
We said it in the studio that this EP feels like a 30-minute set that you would see in a small venue. packed with people who really want to be there.”
“Local” feels like a comforting light within the world’s dark and comes as a saviour for fans across the globe.
Sharing his background, Jordan Dean adds, “When I first started songwriting, I really wanted to be able to control a room with just an acoustic guitar.
However, as I got older and started hanging around local music venues, meeting other musicians, and coming to appreciate great bands, I shifted my focus to sounding more like the bands that I fell in love with so much. I pull from a lot of different influences and styles.
I’m a huge fan of the post-punk revival bands like the Strokes, the Libertines, and Arctic Monkeys and have seemed to lean more heavily on those influences for my latest material as I always find myself coming back to those recordings and not getting bored of them. A
fter chasing it for most of my teenage years, I think, working with a talented producer such as Tone Def, I’ve finally began to settle in to finding my own sound and putting music out that reflects my broad range of influences.”
If you’re into good old fashioned indie with a twist of pop in it’s mix, this EP is especially for you.
