Jakob Nowell is a spectacular talent that makes the world sound like what people thought the future would be like in the ’90s. The kid’s got chops and an uncanny ability to write hooky hits effortlessly. His debut album, Enter: The Castle, is not only a grammatical masterpiece of a title but an outright legitimate piece of music disguised as a party album—one that can be left on repeat all night—reminiscent of Andrew WK with a splash of M42 and a wink and a drop or two of New Order. He’s chaos and perfect harmony coming together.
