The EP opens with the beautiful ‘All I Want’, a song that evokes early Elton John, followed by lead track and highlight ‘Black Metal’ a swing back to the very best 1970’s song writing. The catchy ‘Change Your Mind For Me’ echoes the very best of ELO, and the final, laid-back end track ‘Killing Time’ compliments Max’s stunning vocal whilst soothing the listener.

Max Jury Daytrotter Session Jan 7, 2014. The Loveliness Of Soured Love And Those Who Find It Words by Sean Moeller, Illustration by Johnnie Cluney, Recording engineered by Mike Gentry The melancholia that rears its head too often is reminiscent of those times and places that feel like closing down a sad tavern. It's that feeling of sticky hands, covered in dried, spill-over beer, a sense that you got a lot off your chest and that there still is nothing good to go home to. It might just be that there's no one good to go home to. It could be that there's less to life that you'd like to think and your performance has been lackluster. You wasted another night, but then again, it was the only place you felt like anchoring yourself in. Someone else could choose the songs on the jukebox and you could just slump with that sore back over that dim bar, giving off the look of being physically doubled over. Iowa singer-songwriter Max Jury writes stories featuring people who are mostly tortured, but they never feel doomed.

Max Jury is a singer-songwriter from Des Moines, Iowa who last summer opened a show for Lana Del Rey. Though there are now countless young talents floating in the ether, you can’t help but absorb Max’s skill and sincerity after one listen. It’s not surprising considering his love for old Americana, from Gram Parsons to Paul Simon.

Ahead of the release in April of his three track EP, titled Something In The Air in April, we had a quick chat to find out where he gets his inspiration from and who he’d like to share a whiskey with. Experience, love, heartache, new music and Instagram likes. I am a total introvert and so music has provided me with a creative outlet and helped me express myself in a healthy way.

It was our first show as a band and my first show on the the road. I was having a cup of coffee at a place called the Drake Diner and a local pastor’s daughter walked in and sat down. Laura Marling! Max Jury, St Pancras Old Church, review: Lana Del Rey's protege is an old soul with a softly powerful voice - Reviews - Music. Jury's star maybe on the rise, but one hopes that he will never stop playing intimate venues like St Pancras Old Church, where his hushed, hazy, country vocals sat well with the candlelight and imposing windows. The mood felt quietly beatific; his songs like Americana hymns. Switching between the keyboard and the acoustic guitar, he sung an hour-long ode to sadness, without ever being morose, cliched or overly sentimental. He has a very listenable, gentle, almost graceful, voice more impactful than many other aspiring troubadour peers. His cover of Del Rey's “West Coast” stripped the song to its lyrics, adding a newfound delicacy.

“Black Metal” was as far removed from the titled music subgenre as imaginable, but hauntingly affecting. There's something comfortingly familiar about Jury; an old soul with a softly powerful voice born to tell stories. Max Jury (@maxwelljury) | Twitter... MaxJury’s stream. Max Jury | Marathon Artists.
