Background notes
Archive material and source history
Xowie Jones is the musical project of David Jones, who started writing songs in Greenwich Village. Their debut single "Bury Me Alive" came out in 2012, with lyrics that felt direct and unadorned. The song found listeners who responded to its particular kind of emotional clarity.
They've released several albums since then, including Light Enough in 2014, The Unspeakable in 2016, and First Bloom in 2021. The music has drawn comparisons to artists like Nick Drake and Fiona Apple, and Jones has worked with others including Sufjan Stevens and Phoebe Bridgers. Live performances often involve a shifting group of musicians.
In 2018, Jones spoke publicly about dealing with mental health challenges that had affected their work. Some listeners have found the music's focus on difficult themes to be a point of connection, while others have questioned it. The project continues to put out records.
