“Vases”

*For client, Hobbes

In collaborative effort with animator & illustrator Taylor Peters, this brief series of four looping animations was inspired by 3D printers, fabrication, and repetition. Original soundscapes by me, created in Logic Pro. 

Your Relative

Dinner Party

The debut album, Dinner Party, is a 13 song ode to times come & gone. Solo through-and-through, self-produced from top to bottom, the album is a reflection of Your Relative's tendencies, love it or hate it.

Long-time fans will say, "I liked Your Relative better back when he was really underground." New fans will say, "I can't really hear the lyrics." Just kidding. In five years time, both will say, "I found Your Relative first, back when Dinner Party released."

Marky

Originally released on Bandcamp in 2021, this dual-sided single was created as part of the score to Cole Walton's surf film, "Marky." Remastered and rereleased in 2022, these tracks made their way to all major streaming platforms.'

These tracks are meant to capture the fuzzy memories for sun-burned, beach-bound days — a yearning for water as warm as the air.

"Your Relative is the home-based solo project of slack-rocker folk guy, Jakob McQuade. Combined with disorienting, lo-fi sensibilities, Your Relative's music aims to invoke a sense of nostalgia that leaves you reeling for weird dinners at grandma's house or drifting to sleep in your aunt's attic — there's something special about a good old fashioned time with Your Relative.
