LA-based Stephen Jaymes is a punk poet; a wounded-romantic; a sonic noir auteur and a post-apocalyptic hippie. This month Stephen welcomes a new era of sharply-focused creativity with CHIEF INSPECTOR, the first in a series of four singles seeding a path to a debut full-length album next year. CHIEF INSPECTOR is a doppelgänger noir in which the detective becomes the hunted, the eventual victim of his earlier foolish desire to lock a part of himself up. “I didn’t know what I was writing at first, but it turned out to be a kind of warning and a piece of advice, and it turned out I was talking to myself. I think now I was hearing from the part of me that was unhappy that I hadn’t really been making music in awhile. So I rectified that, and now we’re closer than we’ve ever been.”
