Jay Som + Gia Margaret + Boy Scouts

Written during a week-long stay at Joshua Tree National Park, Anak Ko (“my child" in Tagalog, a native dialect of the Philippines) finds Melina Duterte looking inward and finding ways to embrace seismic changes in her life—sobreity, a move to Los Angeles and success. Recorded in her home studio with the help of some friends, the latest Jay Som album channels the same dreamy vibes as Duterte's previous doses of bedroom pop but feels more comfortable exploring new territory. From a jazzy tune about the pitfalls of social media ("Tenderness") to a twangy ballad about getting sober ("Get Well"), some of the album's most arresting moments come when Duterte comes out for behind the wall of fuzzed-out guitars. At Lincoln Hall, Jay Som is joined by local singer-songwriter Gia Margaret and Oakland indie-folk act Boy Scouts.
