It’s a regular occurrence to have bands and their members break off and do solo projects, and as we see again with Australia’s Jinja Safari (whose member Pepa Knight has gone on to shine with solo material), another individual from the group, the drummer, Jacob Borg, is branching off under the moniker “Berlin Bar Hounds” with his debut track, “Le Rambles”.
Usually with side projects, the end results are less than stellar, but with a voice that sounds akin to Matt Berninger (The National), and thoughtfully elegant arrangements to boot, Berlin Bar Hounds is not even close to being an afterthought. As “Le Rambles” proves, there may be a demand for Jacob Borg to be more than just a drummer from here on out.
