Jacob Alon Captures Sold-Out Roundhouse Show for Live Album

The April show was sold out—the kind of night that doesn’t just fade. Jacob Alon’s performance at London’s Roundhouse will now exist beyond memory, set for release as a live album on August 14th. A limited-edition double vinyl follows on August 18th, along with a full concert film shot on 16mm by Peter Eason Daniels.

The concert came almost a year after Alon’s debut In Limerence, capping a fast-moving stretch for the Fife artist. The 13-track Live From The Roundhouse draws from that album and more, placing Alon’s folk-adjacent songs in a raw, communal setting. The recording captures a performer who values economy—every guitar line and vocal turn measured against the room’s silence.

The announcement arrives with a cover of Nirvana’s “All Apologies.” Alon strips the song to its melodic core, turning the original’s noisy grief into something quieter and more exposed. It’s a fitting preview for a release that doesn’t try to inflate the studio work with live bombast, instead letting the songs breathe differently.

For an artist barely a year out from a debut, a live document of this scale suggests more than archival instinct. It signals that Alon’s relationship with an audience is already worth recording.
