The new four song EP by Jerry Mars! Scheduled to hit streaming and Bandcamp within days, so stay tuned!

Put on your creepers and bust out the clove cigs because the new single by Jerry Mars is a synthpop gem. Your last words will be a Battle Cry!

Jerry grew up in Northern Colorado, an area with a history of turning out unusual artists making exciting music. As a kid he and his sister would blast R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World as We Know It" in the car, singing at the top of their lungs. To this day he strives to channel some of that "epic euphoria" in his own songwriting.  Yet he also loves bleakness. He sees his music as part of the soundtrack to the crumbling decay of a dying empire. 

"As our society becomes more untethered from the way things were, and whether or not one thinks that's a good or bad thing, I want the lyrics to reflect how people feel here today, and usually it's a bleak feeling. " - Jerry Mars

Epic euphoria and a love for bleakness. That's actually a fantastic encapsulation of the landscapes in which the songs of Jerry Mars travel. This also comes through in his influences. His reverence for classic songsmiths like ABBA, Lennon and McCartney as well as post-modern stylists like Destroyer and LCD Soundsystem crystalizes in a sound that is unique yet also familiar like the memory of a first crush. 

Here at Heavy Mediums we love getting the latest tracks from Jerry because, aside from being endlessly earwormy and awesome, each new song is different from the ones before. That's exactly the kind of music we love, and we are proud to have a hand in bringing his songs to the world!
