Jon Cocker - Two (2024)
Jon Cocker's second release, 'Two', a 7-track album, including acoustic songs "She Moves Through The Air", "Ship Will Sail" and "Blown Away", as well as "Pleasure" and "Doubt" on piano.
"Jon Cocker is an authentic ... As a singer they find the middle ground between Neil Young and Jeff Buckley. Cocker’s got some of Young’s twang and a touch of Buckley’s rare vibrating sustain. Sparse production is all that’s needed to aid in the illumination of this brilliant performance. Cocker effectively captures their aura in song." - The Wild Is Calling
"'She Moves Through The Air' is a delicate folk tapestry that weaves together introspective lyrics with sparse, emotive instrumentation ... an intimate atmosphere, with Cocker’s warm vocals floating above gentle acoustic guitar work ... a sense of space that mirrors the song’s themes of freedom and perseverance ... Lyrically, Cocker paints a vivid picture of resilience and grace under pressure" - Bsideguys
"... ‘Two,’ embodies this appeal with his minimalist-inspired collection and deeply emotive, bluesy vocals. His debut EP, released in 2019, is a treat for fans of Nick Drake. Two [2024] has seven tracks. Ship Will Sail is my favourite. More Than Love is a strong track with its beautiful melody and vocals that threaten to rip your heart apart. Two is a must for acoustic songs you can listen to inside a cafe while watching the rain fall outside—a quiet comfort for brokenhearted souls." - Sphere Music

Jon Cocker (2019)
Jon Cocker's eponymous debut EP, including tracks "Green Blue", "Meggy", "Angry" and more.
”Cocker’s excellent acoustic guitar playing, freewheeling sense for melody, soulful vocals, and intimate recordings on not only “Green Blue” but his entire self-titled EP make it easy to draw comparison between him and Nick Drake. As he sings “All my love fades to grey”, you feel the muted reality of heartache: no spectacle, just a lingering lack of colour." - Counterzine
"This musician from the United Kingdom definitely deserves your attention. Especially if you want to spend some little time for your summertime sadness. His voice sounds so alive. As a contrast for modern autotune addiction, these waves go through the ears right into my heart." - Faeton Music
