While writing my debut solo EP, Jestem Krzywym Lasem, I found myself thinking a lot about an old online friend of mine named Sean Gallagher. As it would happen, this led to a lot of decisions that made the final record, so I wanted to take a bit of time to tell you all a little about him. If you’ve been following my Twitter though, … Continue reading Sean Gallagher
We’re quickly approaching the official release date of Jesyem Krzywym Lasem, and today we’re focusing in on track 4, “Butterflies”. This was a late addition to the record, I actually had already begun mixing the final EP when I felt like I wasn’t completing the thought of the overall record, so I knew I needed to add something new. So on Monday September 27th, I … Continue reading Jestem Krzywym Lasem Track by Track: Butterflies
Today brings us to track 3 on Jestem Krzywym Lasem, here’s our breakdown of “Without You”. I’ve spoken a bit about “Without You” before, even sharing a snap from when and where it was written back in December 2020. I had actually woken up one morning and some of the lyrics started swirling around my head as I worked up the strength to get out … Continue reading Jestem Krzywym Lasem Track by Track: Without You
Continuing our crusade through Jesyem Krzywym Lasem from the previous overview post, here’s our track by track breakdown of the first song on the record, “Quiksand”. Quiksand was the first song I wrote that I realized pretty quickly it didn’t quite fit in with all the other songs I was working on at the time.

Following up on our blog about Jestem Krzywym Lasem, here’s our track by track breakdown of the first single from the record, track 2’s “Driveway”. “Driveway” was really the catalyst for deciding that I needed to branch away from (ha!) the Crooked Forest name for this EP and put it out under my given name. But knowing full well that this was just another piece … Continue reading Jestem Krzywym Lasem Track By Track: Driveway
A little ahead of our unplanned schedule, today we dropped our cover of “Seventeen” off of Static Prevails. Check out the official video here: I opted to track Seventeen this week because, well, I’d already been practicing the acoustic version, so instead of going through the arduous task of beginning from absolute scratch, we set our thimble on the board and we were off to … Continue reading Jaimee Eat World Release: Seventeen

Yesterday I announced the release date of my upcoming EP, “Jestem Krzywym Lasem” which is the debut solo EP I’m presenting as myself, Jaimee Jakobczak. Now, if you’ve frequented these trails before you might be saying, “but Jaimee, you’ve released like, 4 other EP’s already as a solo artist” and … Continue reading What’s “Jestem Krzywym Lasem” All About Anyways?
