Jerkcurb is the moniker of British artist Jacob Read, a multifaceted creative whose work seamlessly merges evocative music with atmospheric illustration. Raised by artist parents between American and English influences, Read grew up in a world where visual art and sound coexisted naturally, a duality that now defines his practice. Rooted in South London, he crafts dreamlike, slow-burning pop that drifts between nostalgia and surrealism, often performing both as a solo act and with the experimental group Horsey.
His sound evokes a retro-futuristic Americana infused with torch song melancholy, gothic undertones, and Lynchian dreamscapes. Conjuring imagery as much as melody, Jerkcurb’s songs play like soundtracks to films that were never made, carried by cinematic textures and noir atmospheres. With each release, he continues to expand his distinctive world at the intersection of sound, vision, and imagination, cementing himself as one of the UK’s most singular and enigmatic voices.
Ticket prices may vary depending on venue and location. Full pricing details are available on each individual event page.
