♫♪  Majestyy - “The Notion” / “Spirits Touch”

Brian Jacobs: once half the songwriting duo behind Call Florence Pow (teenage prog-pop perfection) and Apes & Androids (the much-missed best live spectacle in New York), now the solitary mastermind of Majestyy. Less the analog synth collection and mixing expertise of former band buddy Chrome Canyon, every bit of these first two songs were homespun by Jacobs. The brooding “Spirits Touch” sounds like a vocal-adorned take on the best of Chrome Canyon’s recent Elemental Themes, while “The Notion” finds Jacobs relishing in his most unabashedly pop-sweet song to date. Fans of French touch, synth-pop, and 80s electro won’t find much unfamiliar here — and they won’t be complaining, either.
