JJerome87 – Track and Field

JJerome87 is the solo project of alt-J frontman and songwriter Joe Newman. As part of the band, Newman managed to help create one of the UK’s most influential indie outfits from the past decade.

‘Track and Field’ is Newman’s latest single and showcases a summery pop sound that features hints of indie, Americana and gospel. The song is warm and nostalgic in tone, and further affirms Newman’s status as a top-tier songwriter.

A debut album titled ‘The Canyon’ is scheduled for release on the 26th of June.
