Jacob Tremont Has His Best Year Yet
Jersey City indie-folk singer-songwriter Jacob Tremont hit his stride in 2025 with the laid-back groove of his wistful “Slow Motion Night.” It’s the title tune of his impressive new album that landed in May on Mint 400 Records out of Passaic County. Tremont’s music fits right alongside Wilco on a mix-tape. He writes of heartbreak and healing in a soothing everyman voice one could easily love. The clip below debuted on bloodmakesnoise.net and “Constant Listener” listed it as its #1 Album of the Year. His deeply personal lyrics on dreamy ballads and energetic indie-rock has had critics compare him to Elliott Smith and Bright Eyes. His amalgam of guitar, bass, drums, banjo, cello and pedal steel add color and depth. We’ll be watching him closely in the new year.
