Since they introduced themselves around a year ago, Melbourne’s Jakubi have not put a foot wrong. With the recent release of latest single ‘Couch Potato’, the band has now struck gold four times, with their latest effort nearing 130,000 plays on SoundCloud at the time of writing. According to the band, the song is the “story about a girl (Couch Potato), who in her father’s eye, has her head in the clouds. Her relaxed view on life makes her father frustrated, but life is all about having fun and doing things at your own pace. She ain’t gon’ dwell on nothin’”. Blending elements of pop, indie-rock, jazz, reggae and even a touch of soul, the feel good track found so much attention that the band was forced to put it up for download two weeks early. Mynt Lounge, Werribee – August 1.
