Indie
Jay Som is the pseudonym of Bay Area native Melina Duterte, a multi-instrumentalist who creates wistful and breezy indie-pop. At only 22 years old, it's astonishing that there's such a strong certainty and confidence in the sound Duterte's already developed. 'Everybody Works' is her second record, following 2016's collection of demos 'Turn Into'. What's so remarkable on this album is how comfortable Duterte is in crafting delicate dream-scapes on tracks like 'Lipstick Stains' and 'Remain', before flipping it upside down with the crunchy west coast garage-rock of '1 Billion Dogs' and 'Take It'. This record is a strong statement, and considering her youth, it's highly likely that whatever Melina Duterte puts her hand to next is bound to be exciting.
