Michigan independent songwriter Jacob McLeod releases his 11-track album Michigan 20 today, 1 September. Recorded largely in his parents’ basement studio over ten months, it blends indie folk and indie rock while documenting the years McLeod spent travelling between Big Rapids and Mount Pleasant.
The record's arrangements pair delicate fingerpicked acoustic guitars with driving rhythm sections that evoke the expansive chill of Midwest highways. McLeod's lyrics capture regional isolation, quiet domestic epiphanies, and youthful restlessness.
A hometown release show follows on 4 September, before an ambitious tour slate takes McLeod through Lansing, Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Chicago throughout the autumn.
