Jacob Weil

The past is not secured to a single spot. It bends and twists, advances, and recedes. Within us, it lingers, shaping our mannerisms and nuances, guiding the decisions we make and the advice we give. Fragments of our past are collected in memories and, like pictures on a wall, decorate our minds, existing as doorways into what’s been left behind.

In his debut LP, 'Lived In', Vancouver-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Weil examines the circumstance of being partway through a lifetime and noticing these changes in himself and others. The album blends intimate observations and personal reflections, delving into the intricacies of “lived-in” lives, weaving together the collective and the individual.

After years of crisscrossing North America, Europe, and the U.K., Jacob, his band, and his producer <a href="spotify:artist:5S7A3k8YvGhc78LKeqe8gl" data-name="Sam Weber">Sam Weber</a>, traveled from Los Angeles to Tornillo, Texas, spending five days at the legendary Sonic Ranch studio. Here, during marathon live-band recording days, they created &#39;Lived In&#39;, aiming to capture the magic of their mistakes and impulses without allowing any one idea to feel too precious.

Throughout the album, we encounter a series of moments and characters, each connected by a sense of continual self-discovery. In the end, Jacob shows us an acceptance of the way things are, whatever that is, and leaves us with an appreciation for the weight of our memories, experiences, and the passage of time.
