Jay Som announces debut LP 'Everybody Works' & tour, shares "The Bus Song"

Last year, Jay Som (aka Melina Duterte) announced that she signed to Polyvinyl and would release her debut LP for the label in 2017, and now details on that are here. It’s called Everybody Works and it drops on March 10 via Polyvinyl. The first single is “The Bus Song,” which has hints of the Crutchfield sisters and Rilo Kiley and is very worth hearing. Check it out, along with the album tracklist, below. That’s the artwork above.

Jay Som is also playing SXSW ths year and then touring with The Courtneys, including a Brooklyn show on March 29 at Baby’s All Right. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (1/13) at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.

The Courtneys are also releasing a new album, The Courtneys II, on February 17 via Flying Nun. They just released the new single “Tour” (via NPR), and you can stream that and previous single “Silver Velvet” below.
