"...a simplistic video [Two More Minutes Acoustic] filled with close-up shots, and the purposeful strumming of a guitar. We hear not only the power of his voice, but the emotional power that this track thrives upon." - Earmilk

"In the age of information overload, sometimes it's nice to find something that seems to be born out of thin air with no context to cloud or influence judgment...'Dark Star' is equal parts haunting and anthemic, lurching forward on its massive beat-a surprisingly effective combination of dubstep-inspired synths, echoey claps, and ghostly flourishes of piano and guitar-while Young weaves his ethereal vocals around warnings to a would be loved one. It's a potent introduction to a promising new voice."-Pigeons and Planes

"Young utilizes elements of R&B and dark pop to transport listeners to another world."- Hypetrak

"With remixes like this [Dark Star] in his pocket, it's hard not to imagine this kid reaching the far corners of the universe" - Kick Kick Snare

"Jaymes Young came seemingly out from nowhere, but carried with him more credibility than many artists who have been playing together for years." - The Music Ninja

"Young is completely in control of his craft. Between his alluring and seductive vocal stylings, his sometimes ambient but always impressive R&B production, and contagious hooks and choruses that'll bounce around in your brain like a game of Pong, every one of the 13 tracks found on his new release is worthy of your attention" - Under the Gun Review

Twenty-two year old singer/songwriter/producer Jaymes Young has revealed a new acoustic video for his song "Two More Minutes" on Earmilk.com - PRESS HERE<http://www.earmilk.com/2013/09/19/jaymes-young-two-more-minutes-video/> to watch! Fans can also remix the track and submit via Earmilk.com. Just four months ago, after moving to Los Angeles from his hometown of Seattle, Jaymes started to self-release the new music he was writing and producing out of his tiny bedroom. It instantly received attention from various tastemakers, including Zane Lowe of BBC Radio 1 and various well-respected music blogs. His song "Dark Star" topped the HypeMachine charts. Since then, he released his debut EP Dark Star on iTunes and a 13-song free mixtape for his fans. In just one month, the mixtape downloads and listens have surpassed 1 million. Jaymes channels elation, heartache, joyousness and bitterness through the guitarist's blend of indie pop and R&B. It's as if James Blake, Active Child and the Weeknd all wrote down and blended their best and worst memories of past relationships and hit Record.

There's a haunting quality that underlies the Dark Star EP. The music veers from wobbly synths ("Dark Star") to gentle acoustic guitar ("One Last Time"). The pop hooks of "Moondust" will stay in your head for days.  Perhaps the biggest surprise, though, is Young's unexpectedly earnest, gorgeous cover of Haddaway's Eurodance hit on the mixtape, "What Is Love," disassembled and slowed down to re-imagine the track as a mournful romantic elegy.

Next week, Jaymes will hit the road with UK up and comers London Grammar -with SOLD OUT shows in Los Angeles and San Francisco. See full tour routing below. Jaymes is undeniably a new artist to pay attention to.
