Jake Huffman’s 'The Endofme' feels less like a song and more like stepping into someone’s subconscious, a release that flickers between beauty and dread, stillness and distortion. It’s the closing track of his latest EP, and his most vulnerable and adventurous work to date.

Jake Huffman presents: The Endofme

“The Endofme” is the final track on my latest EP, and one of the most personal songs I’ve ever released. I wrote, produced, and performed it entirely myself — recording between my home studio and Power Station New England.

At the time, I was suffering from intense ocular migraines and experiencing vivid, often terrifying lucid dreams. I’d wake up unsure if I was still dreaming. This song is my attempt to capture those moments — not just the emotion, but the actual textures and sounds I heard while in those dream states.

It’s different from anything else in my catalogue. I made some risky choices — sonically and structurally — but they were all in service of honesty.

Fans of Djo, SYML, or Cautious Clay might connect with the mood, but this song is its own world. I hope that world translates.

As an artist, I’ve previously charted on national commercial radio (#31), toured the country, and composed for Sesame Street. I’ve performed at Mountain Jam, been the house band for ESPN’s SportsNation, and am an ISC-winning songwriter and HIMA-nominated lyricist.

"Life has been so crazy I forgot that my own EP was scheduled to be released today.. SURPRISE. I play, produce, write everything - but the magic lies in the week at power station and the mix thanks to the one and only @power_station_ne and @randymerrill_sterling for mastering this to the stars. You can listen to this 4 song ep wherever you usually steam music", Jake Huffman.

Stream The Endofme:

At the age of 14 Jake Huffman and his band McLovins posted on YouTube a cover of Phish’s You Enjoy Myself from his parents basement in Connecticut. Overnight the video went viral and sparked a rabid following of fans around the world. From bars to clubs to theaters to major music festivals, at an early age Jake became a fixture on the rock music scene. His band shared the stage with Blink-182, Foster the People, BB King, and The Flaming Lips. In 2010, Rolling Stone described McLovins as “having the ability to harness the musical ferocity of Trey Anastasio, Les Claypool and Stewart Copeland before being able to legally drive a car”.

In 2015, Jake caught the attention of Emmy, Grammy and Tony award winning producer and composer Bill Sherman (Hamilton, In The Heights, Sesame Street) who happened to be visiting family in Hartford. Sherman connected the band with Glee producer Michael Novick and together they produced the bands self titled “Red” Album. The critical praise for that record included legendary XPN Radio Programming Director and DJ Bruce Warren who wrote at the time, “When McLovins combine their passion for Jazz with their knack for crafty yacht rock arrangements a la Steely Dan, they really start to shine- and cook.” Lin Manuel-Miranda simultaneously listed the first track “Talk About It” as one of his favorites in an interview with US Weekly. From there the band toured nationally for several years opening for the likes of the Gin Blossoms and Flobots, and playing major festivals like Bunbury in Cincinnati with Jack White, Chainsmokers and Post Malone as well as Summer Camp in Illinois with Tom Petty, the Roots and Lil’ Dickey. Throughout their extensive touring schedule McLovins made regular appearances at iHeart and CBS radio stations around the country.

Meanwhile on television, Jake left an imprint as a composer and lyricist for Sesame Street writing dozens of songs for artists like Ed Sheeran and Leon Bridges. He also did a stint leading the house band on ESPN’s Sports-Nation for a season.

In 2019 Jake felt the urge to evolve his sound further and enlisted the help of producing wizard Andy Seltzer (Maggie Rogers, Chelsea Cutler.) The result of three days in Los Angeles with Andy marked the debut release of Jake’s solo project which premiered on NPR’s World Cafe in October of 2019.

Jakes plans to tour his new music were cut short by the 2020 global pandemic. As a result he spent the time working in his own studio writing new music, honing his new sound and developing his craft as a producer. He released a few singles, started a series on Youtube called Jake Huffman’s Sunday Mixdown, and became a certified music producer from Berklee College of Music.

Jake has lived a lifetime as an artist well before the age of 30. His upcoming EP “Younger” was written, recorded and produced at the world renowned PowerStation New England Studio and forms a cohesive ode to his upcoming EP. With compelling discourses, the track explores a commentary about dying on a hill, as he explains, “The lyrics aren’t about what I personally believe. Everywhere I look people are spouting their beliefs while contradicting themselves in the same breath. The world has become so polarizing and I wanted this song to encapsulate that energy. ” With the perfect punch of redemption, his musicality comes to life. Huffman's anthemic vocal energy rises atop crashing choruses, soaring melodies and the alt-rock infused rhythms he's been known to possess. With broadening soundscapes and truly impeccable capability, it’s Huffman’s hope that listeners will take what they need from the song, as he explores a journey into creativity. Accompanied by a sound that pulls deep from his rock roots and reaches far into what can only be described as the sound of the 20’s, his latest single consolidates his status as an exceptional talent. It is a culmination of his unique story and hard work paired with exceptional songwriting and fantastic production.

Jake Huffman presents: On The Edge

Nice rocker song

"On The Edge" is a track I wrote, produced, and performed entirely myself. I played all the instruments, recorded the song between my home studio and Power Station New England. It’s my first release in over a year, so it feels like the right way to reintroduce my sound.

Lyrically, this song captures that restless feeling of pushing your limits. Musically I wanted it to feel like a theme song for a binge worthy TV show.

"My background includes writing and touring nationally, as well as composing for television (Sesame Street, etc.), but this project is where I get to be my honest self. My influences range from modern indie rock to timeless classic songwriters, and I try to bring that spirit into every track", Jake Huffman.
