SA’S favourite folk-rock star has released an EP that in-cludes his smash hit Post-cards. We caught up with Jeremy to chat about it and his epic collaboration with Lady smith Black Mambazo.
How would you describe Souvenirs?
It’s just this little collection of unique songs I love and am proud of. I think people are going to enjoy it for its differences from a traditional album.
Why did you pick that title?
Some people collect trinkets as souvenirs, but they’re ultimately just capsules, physical manifestations of memories of an important time or interesting experience. These songs are that for me.
How did the EP come about?
While we were in lockdown I asked myself, since I was stuck indoors, “If I could make any songs I wanted without any pressures, what would they be?” And that’s how Souvenirs came to be.
Is a full-length album on the way?
Yes there is, but it’s not quite ready yet. It’ll come out in 2022.
