US Based Jordan Dean Releases EP Inspired by British Artists

Jan 24, 2021 Thomas

Ohio-raised Jordan Dean may have grown up in a world of American music, influence and lifestyle, but his true passion and inspiration comes from a place a bit further away from home.

With inspo from some of the UK’s indie giants like The Kooks and Arctic Monkeys, Jordan combines his musical heritage with the sounds of his favourite British bands to create something fresh that’s incredibly accessible to anyone, anywhere. 2021 is beginning to look like an exciting year for Jordan, with the upcoming release of his EP, ‘Local’.

The title track by the same name is a bouncy tune that’s perfect to jam out to while lying down in a sunny field. Featuring a twangy guitar riff and some spoken-word lyrics, this song brings something unique to the scene.

‘Rabbit Hole’ is another noteworthy track, a little slower and more solemn. It keeps the EP’s consistency with the same guitar sound, just with a new riff and a totally new story. These songs are reminiscent of other new indie artists like Con..
