Mean: Knowing
Mean Knowing (Independent) This band/project, and this album/project will go some way toward closing the gap between albums by Jakob. Here, Jakob’s guitarist Jeff Boyle shapes seven instrumental pieces – a winding, evolving post-rock journey – with Hamish Walker (from Avotor and Keretta).
