Julian Jasper is a Los Angeles-based musican whose “About Me” section on his facebook page self-described his sound as “Smooth Dad Rock.” That can be taken a few ways, but based on “Wait Until Dawn,” a single taken from his debut EP 2 A.M., Chinatown which was released earlier this month via Misra Records, it’s most definitely a good thing (dads can rock too people!).
Led by a funky bassline and some color-synths, it’s all guided home with Jasper’s chilly vocals that create something of a late night fantasy come to life. It feels so fresh and today, but at the same time, feels like it could have emerged from a lost era.
Stream “Wait Until Dawn” below, and if you like what you hear, check out the rest of the EP over at his bandcamp. Keep Jasper on your radar, this is quite a promising start.
