Listen: Jed Nayef – Freaks

New Yorker Jed Nayef is set to unite outsiders, singletons and strangers the world over with his debut release ‘Freaks’.

Transforming passivity into controlled aggression, Nayef offers an insight into the twisted mind of “a strange motherfucker at the edge of the night” with a series of ominous declarations spat in his distinctive sideways grunt. The newcomer is no dilettante when it comes to production either; sleek bass lines and faintly exotic synthesizer riffs stab through drapes of glittering guitar.

‘Freaks’ is a thrilling piece of oppositional futurist pop from an emerging artist overflowing with self-deprecating charm.
