David Jacobson and the Space Wizards is the project of David Jacobson, who lives on Roosevelt Island, in the middle of the East River in NYC. He’s a session musician for various artists around town. The newly released album, titled ‘David Jacobson and the Space Wizards II’ explores heartache and self-healing. The album provides a moody throwback rock and pop appeal, with the new single “Dream Bed” touting bouncy synth pulses and soulful vocals, bolstered by shining organs and tender guitars.
The album was recorded in Jacobson’s apartment, where he wrote and performed all the songs in his home studio. “This was my process for reconnecting with myself,” he says, noting themes that focus on loss, moving on, attempting to reconnect, letting go, and depression. Influences include David Bowie, Scott Walker, Flaming Lips, Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, the Band, Elvis, John Scofield, Miles Davis, and ‘80s Grateful Dead.
