Help us make the new album 'REFUGE'

  Lancashire-born singer-songwriter Tobias ben Jacob releases Human Flow (13.03.20), the first single from REFUGE, a vibrant new album of electronica-tinged story-songs inspired by people at the heart of the global refugee crisis.
Conceived whilst working six days a week as a delivery driver, Tobias dreamed up the entire concept for the record in lay-bys in his Devon hometown, pulling over to jot down lyrics and record demos on his phone.
The inspiration for the album came after Tobias made contact with Zekria Farzad, an Afghan refugee and former journalist who had set up the Wave of Hope For The Future School at Moria Refugee Camp, Lesbos. Talking with Zekria and hearing some of his incredible accounts of courage and hope during a hellish struggle to find a place of safety for his family, Tobias set out to try and explore more of these inspiring human stories through his songwriting.
Human Flow is partly inspired by the Ai Weiwei film of the same name that documents the global refugee crisis. Clinging to a sparse arrangement of analogue synth swells and dissected samples of a ghostly choir, the track explores in concise, evocative language the elements that lead someone towards that perilous journey.
Tobias enlisted John Elliott of the band The Little Unsaid to produce and record the album, the two holing themselves up in a remote house in the wilds of Exmoor and recording the entire album in one week whilst storms raged continually outside.
A crowd-funder was set up to help complete the album, with additional funds being raised towards supporting the School at Moria Camp. Tobias asked what the school needed and was told they have 150 music students and only a handful of old guitars, so he pledged to provide them with additional guitars purchased locally in Greece.
