Jakob

Jakob are an electronica threesome from Napier who first enveloped audiences with their atmospheric soundscapes when opening for Salmonella Dub in 1998. With heavy influence from HDU, the band released its debut album Subsets of Sets in 2002. It was nominated at the b.Net awards; as was second album Cale:Drew in 2003. The instrumental frontrunners have since toured internationally, with the UK's Sunday Times aptly claiming Jakob's psychedelic post-rock would be world famous if they hailed from the genre's Texan epicentre.
