Jacob Faurholt
In 2005 the Danish trio Jacob Faurholt & Sweetie Pie Wilbur released their debut album "Queen of Hope" on the Danish independent label Quartermain Records. On "Queen of Hope" you’ll hear an under-acted, spontaneous and intimate pop with little mistakes and disharmonies.
To support the album Jacob Faurholt & Sweetie Pie Wilbur played a long line of concerts, including support for CocoRosie, Grizzly Bear and Efterklang.
Faurholt’s second album (first on his own), "Hurrah Hurrah", was released in 2007. It is an album of 10 lo-fi folk songs with outbursts of noise, and Johanna and Miriam E Berhan from the Swedish duo Taxi Taxi! contributes vocals to the song "Sing little bird".
Faurholt’s third album "Are you in the mood for love?" followed in February 2009 on the Danish label Slow Shark Records. A dark, atmospheric and sparse album, with drunken backing vocals, recorded live with Danish producer Kristian Westergård. Faurholt played several concerts around Denmark to support the release, including support for The Handsome Family and his old time favorites The Black Heart Procession.
In November 2009 Faurholt released an EP with his new project Why Write? on the Canadian based label What A Mess! Records. The American producer Kramer (Galaxie 500, Low, Daniel Johnston) mixed the songs, which have a richer instrumentation than Faurholt’s previous work, and draws comparison to noise-pop bands from the early nineties.
In August 2010 Faurholt released two songs, with Danish lyrics, on a 7" vinyl called "Utyske!". The lyrics were written by Kasper Rønberg Schultz (ex - Sweetie Pie Wilbur).
Faurholt's 4th album, "Dark Hours", was released on Raw Onion Records August 15th 2011.
