Indie prince Jake Bugg took the indie disco’s by storm when his debut self-titled record rocketed to the tops of the album charts in 2012 and since then he’s been on a hardcore tour of Europe and the UK, turned his hand to acting in his debut short film collaboration with Director Shane Meadows and avoided denying rumours of a publicised relationship with Model Cara Delevigne.

This months see’s the Nottingham-born lad return to what he does best and releases his follow-up album ‘Shangri-La‘. We’re already in love with it and here he is performing an acoustic track back on home turf.

 Shangr-La is out this week

The post PREMIERE: JAKE BUGG – “THERE’S A BEAST” appeared first on Wonderland.

As part of a series of filmed live performances called Plugged In for US fashion label Original Penguin, Nottingham-via-The World singer-scally Jake Bugg played to a handful of ticket holders at east London venue The Queen of Hoxton last week.

The project’s opening event – intimate, irenic and heartfelt as it was – felt special. Playing cuts from his eponymously titled debut effort with the Jake Bugg band, the usually moribund looking teen strummed with the ease of a Strongbow-swigging Glastonbury regular. Indeed hits “Trouble Town”, the lush, arpeggiated “Country Lane” and radio-rotated C+W revivalist smash “Two Fingers” were delivered with both intention and a dreamy, Northern Soul sheen. The kid next door knows his Richard Ashcroft, it would seem.
