Jeremie Albino will release his label debut ‘Our Time in the Sun‘ via Easy Eye Sound on 1st November 2024.
The 12-song collection is produced by Dan Auerbach, lead singer of The Black Keys and founder of Easy Eye Sound. The collaboration came about after Auerbach had a chance encounter with Albino's music.
“The first time I saw Jeremie it was just him and his acoustic. His voice was amazing. I instantly loved his style and charisma – I didn’t know it could just be so real,” he remembers of first hearing Albino. “When we brought him in the studio, it was a dream session. He’s so talented, comfortable with who he is – he’s able to put everyone in the room at ease and bring people together with his music.”
“I feel like I learned so much about myself and what I’m capable of,” says Albino of creating Our Time In The Sun.“This record is the most myself I think I’ve ever sounded. I’m more comfortable in my own skin now than ever before.”
Albino’s story began on a farm in rural Ontario, where trips to sell produce in Toronto quickly turned into playing music on the city’s streets and eventually into performing galvanising live shows. After beginning to work with Auerbach, Albino was introduced to some of the city’s finest session players and songwriters, notably Pat McLaughlin (John Prine, Johnny Cash).
‘Rolling Down The 405' came to life when Albino, Auerbach and McLaughlin were riffing during a songwriting session.
“The song came together so fast. I just started chugging on the guitar and singing lyrics off the top of my head,” Albino recollects. As the recording sessions started, ‘Rolling Down The 405’ was the first song they tracked. “We played the demo for the guys in the room, and everybody just understood what it needed to be,” says Albino. “That was the most fun I’ve had making a record, and it set the tone for the rest of the sessions.”
