Jacob Humber - “cereal box”

Chicago-based singer-songwriter Jacob Humber returns to the blog with the heartfelt and intimate sounds of “cereal box,” the first single from his forthcoming EP, Furn.

We have been fans of Humber since his 2022 LP Kodiak, and we are pleased to inform you that his raw and folksy demeanor remains perfectly intact with “cereal box.” The song opens to the remarkable, time-tested sounds of acoustic guitar, so brilliantly displayed that you’ll swear it’s being performed in whatever room you currently find yourself.

While it is not at all difficult to lose yourself amidst the gentle strums of guitar, it is, without a doubt, Humber’s rich and authentic vocal performance that will reel you directly into the sound. And although the song is quite sparse, with just the guitar and vocal, the emotional integrity of the subject matter more than fills the soundscape to its highest peaks.

The subject matter of “cereal box” lands perfectly within our wheelhouse, touching upon grief and change, hitting listeners with lines like: “I’ve never had trouble breathing before… It’s only a masterpiece on the floor… And you don’t love me anymore…” We’re confident that anyone currently experiencing heartache will find themselves right at home for its two-and-a-half minute duration.

“cereal box” is now available everywhere and you can rest assured that we will feature more selections from Furn as they are released. Until then, have a listen and connect with Jacob Humber online: Instagram | Spotify | Facebook | Bandcamp
