Jeremy Fisher

It’s been a great start music-wise for 2007. There’s been quite a diverse range of releases (the legitimate kind and those of the leaked variety), and recently I came across a great album by singer-songwriter Jeremy Fisher called Goodbye Blue Monday. Quite the multi-talented artist, Fisher has hand-crafted a series of animated videos for some of the album’s tracks himself, like this one for one of my favourite tracks, “Cigarette”:


Jeremy Fisher, “Cigarette”


He’s started up his own blog site to post the videos, so you can check out the rest of them here. Fisher can effortlessly combine solo acoustic performances with a full band sound, topping it all off with an indie sensibility that makes him sound fresh and exciting. He goes beyond your typical concept of the singer-songwriter, much like Ben Kweller or Amos Lee, or Hawksley Workman himself. If you’re finding some of the “avant-indie” a bit hard to digest, Fisher is a tonic that goes down smoothly, doesn’t upset your stomach, and leaves you with a healthy glow and joyful buzz. Drink up.
