Jeremy Jay traffics in sparse, moony-eyed pop that takes its stylistic cues from ’50s rock ’n’ roll and lovelorn French chansons. While the unabashed romanticism and reverb-driven surf-guitar lines could be dismissed as retro fad, there’s an eerie, refracted quality to Jay’s music that haunts the listener long after his debut LP, A Place Where We Could Go, stops spinning. The singer conjures up images of ghostly proms and long-gone teen angels with a detached croon that’s both intimate and too ephemeral to touch, an aesthetic he continues on the new Slow Dance.
