Therapies Son

19-year-old Southern California native Alex Jacob began recording under the moniker Therapies Son (the name was settled on after a “horrible breakup”) in 2010, and within months of releasing his first single, he had become the latest in an increasingly crowded field of 21st century bedroom pop auteurs. With a sound that fluctuates between the ornate, orchestral psych rock of the Flaming Lips and the fiercely personal indie pop of Twin Shadow and Perfume Genius, Jacob unleashed his debut EP, Over the Sea, digitally on March 22, 2011.
