Artist: Avid Dancer

Jacob Dillan Summers has been many things. A sheltered fundamentalist Christian kid. A world champion drumline drummer. A marine. A lovesick transplant to icy Alaska. But in July 2014, he was just a man stabbing a nail into his own palm to draw enough blood to paint with. This is the story behind Avid Dancer – the nom de musique under which Summers is releasing his first full-length album 1st Bath. Those recordings contain some of the most kaleidoscopic, distinctly individual – and above all, honest – pop music you’ll hear all year. ead more on Last.fm
