Jake Elijah's Sophomore LP Out Now!

Earth Libraries is proud to present Jake Elijah's sophomore album, A Second Option, now available wherever you get your music. 

Recorded in just one week onto analog tape, the latest LP from Brooklyn-based songwriter Jake Elijah builds on the catchy and nostalgic charm of his previous album, Little Errands, this time venturing into bigger, wilder, and more experimental terrain. Raised on the melodic sensibilities of weirdo-pop icons Sparks, Kate Bush, and MGMT, Elijah throws every idea at the wall without holding back, resulting in an eclectic yet remarkably cohesive collection of songs. First dates, carnival rides, broken machinery, predictive dreams, and spider webs all find a hiding spot on the album. From inviting hooks to moments of bizarre comedic flair, A Second Option is a distinctive ride through Elijah's creative playground, inviting listeners to join in on the fun and discover what sticks.

 Jake Elijah is a 25-year-old musician, animator, and video editor based in Brooklyn, New York. Elijah is also an accomplished filmmaker and animator, having lent his creative vision to many projects ranging from documentaries for MTV and Harvard to visually irreplicable music videos for acts like Star Moles and the duo Hot Machine.
