About Methyl Ethel
Since emerging from Perth in 2013 in his early 20s, Jake Webb has proven that Kevin Parker isnât the only heady synth-pop visionary in town. On his 2016 debut as Methyl Ethel, Oh Inhuman Spectacle, Webb presented himself as a home-recording savant who could effortlessly thread the needle through â70s soft rock, â80s dream pop, and 21st-century indie, with a quivering androgynous voice that enhanced the projectâs intimate charm. Even after turning Methyl Ethel into a four-piece touring act, Webb has retained his auteurist approach in the studio, handling pretty much all of the instrumentation. However, subsequent releases have greatly expanded his sound through punchier songcraft (see: the futurist glam rock of 2017âs âUbuâ) and baroque synth-sparkled arrangements (2018âs âScream Wholeâ), while a sweeping radio-session cover of Justin Timberlakeâs âCry Me a Riverâ betrayed his latent pop-star affinities. Methyl Ethel may be a one-man band at its core, but Webb isnât afraid to goâas his heart-racing 2020 single puts itââMajestic AF.â
