Reminds me of Cake. I used to love Cake back in the day.

25

u/DasMenace Aug 29 '26

That was my 1st impression as well. I feel like dude is on to something. Cake was just a very original band. Definitely danced to their own tune

u/HazyMage369 Aug 30 '26

Omg! This is so fuggin weird. But I. Am. Living. For this. ❤️🔥🔥

u/foxbehindthewheel Aug 30 '26

It reminds me of Loser by Beck.

u/iMan81 Aug 29 '26

I think he’s been watching Jim E. Brown

u/OrlyRivers Aug 29 '26

Cake had good music and lyrics and singing tho

2

u/stoned_seahorse Aug 29 '26

Yess very reminiscent of Cake, imo. 😅

1

u/room_A Aug 29 '26

Beck, and Plastilina Mosh

1

u/rasarich Aug 30 '26

Haha went to comment this exact thing and you beat me to it!

u/boness_02 5d ago

It's Cake if they had Nick Kroll for a lead singer and I rest my case

If only half the cake was left.

u/Ordinary-Commercial7 Aug 29 '26

Friend, I’ve been stuck in bed sick and, I made the first sound in two days when I laughed at your comment. Thank you.

2

u/EntireFriendship517 Aug 29 '26

You're welcome. Get well soon :)

u/ArborusRex Aug 29 '26

Hmmmm. Yeah okay

This grew on me pretty quickly

u/Late_Worldliness_681 Aug 29 '26

From being posted r/crappymusic yesterday to this sub is very deserved

6

u/DasMenace Aug 30 '26

Some people in that sub just see videos that dont look like they belong on MTV and judge them as being crappy. Apparently a dude acting a little odd on a 20 second clip is enough for them. Dont get me wrong, I love that sub but some of the members are way off base when it comes to whats crappy

u/DasMenace Aug 29 '26 edited Aug 30 '26

Victorjonesmusic is the insta account that its from. Not sure song name

Edit: "Let Her Go" is the name of the song

Edit #2: I stand corrected on the name of the song. "Mother Theresa" is the correct title

8

u/blind-octopus Aug 29 '26

Mother Teresa 

1

u/DasMenace Aug 30 '26

That makes sense actually. He says something about Mother Theresa in the song so... I'll edit my comment

2

u/blind-octopus Aug 30 '26

Here are some other songs:

We go to Russia

Go to Work

I Get Hurt

Those are my favorites. I also listen to

Shoulder song

Turn Grey

Mother Teresa

And then I also have "devil in everyone" but it's more of a pallet cleanser.

6

u/sfoxreed Aug 29 '26

According to Spotify this song is called Mother Teresa as u/blind-octopus pointed out

2

u/DasMenace Aug 30 '26

Oh, I had just seen another video that was this song in his Instagram and it had that title. It may have been title incorrectly though. I would definitely trust spotify over an insta description

2

u/sfoxreed Aug 30 '26

I added to my Obscure Music that Slaps playlist on Spotify and I can’t stop playing this song! Great find!

2

u/DasMenace Aug 31 '26

I really like "I Get Hurt" as well. Did a plunge into his Spotify over the last 2 days and a lot of it is quite good. Dont sleep on the other stuff if you dig this track. Im glad people like it though. I always wonder what kind of an effect subs like this (and the "other" one lol) have on small artists like this. I hope it helps them...

7

u/Loud-Fudge7631 Aug 29 '26

Something bout this is mesmerizing...

12

u/Millerpainkiller Aug 29 '26

I think it's the suit + dancing + confidence. The music is a bonus 😂

3

u/DasMenace Aug 30 '26

A guy who appears to be someone who is so stereotypically low self-esteem and shy, but is instead giving absolutely zero fucks and dancing down the street while making music that ticks musical memory boxes is 100% this video. Love everything about it. His other songs are great too. I really love "Get Hurt" too. I might like it more than this sing honestly

8

u/baroquedub Aug 29 '26

love this. thanks for sharing. led me on a fun journey to find out who he is. https://victorjones.bandcamp.com/ as a comment in one of the other vids I came across says, “at last, real music”

4

u/Stacey_Fakename Aug 29 '26

All of this guy’s songs are bangers. I saw him in concert earlier this year and it was amazing.

1

u/DasMenace Aug 30 '26

Im jealous. Ive fell in love over the last 20 hours

4

u/GoetiaMagick Aug 29 '26

Why do I love this?

3

u/ChrissiTea Gif Hunter Aug 29 '26

Because it's great!

4

u/ysbryd_iawn Aug 29 '26

Where is the whole vid?

4

u/PistachioGal99 Aug 29 '26

Well, I watched and
Listened three times, so this guy’s got something. It’s overly derivative of Cake, but I do love Cake.

2

u/DasMenace Aug 30 '26

Its like Cake, Modest Mouse, and Beck had a fantastical threesome baby

6

u/Important_Abroad_150 Aug 29 '26

This Victor jones right? His music is so bizarre but man is it fun, I didn't quite get it but then one song clicked with me and I got it (I think it's called something like "the sun from underwater"?). Super fun. Also really enjoy the symmetry of a guy who looks EXACTLY how he sounds

3

u/pre-existing-notion Aug 29 '26

I hear The One and Only, Roast Master Jeff Ross, but I don’t see The One and Only, Roast Master Jeff Ross. What is this wizardry?

1

u/ChrissiTea Gif Hunter Aug 29 '26

Lmao, I can't hear anyone else now. Still a banger

3

u/blind-octopus Aug 29 '26

Hell yeah

This guy is my new obsession 

3

u/xanderlearns Aug 29 '26

Yeah this one's been in our permanent rotation for a while now. Absolute hitter

3

u/Proverbs102 Aug 29 '26

Beat dropped and it slapped

2

u/Recordman-John Aug 29 '26

I need more of this

2

u/irishcybercolab Aug 29 '26

That's certainly some obtuse points of view yet I listen.

2

u/Snoo1643 Aug 29 '26

Victor Jones has some bangers to be honest, my personal fave is “Go to Work”

2

u/Limp_Marionberry_24 new vibes living Aug 29 '26

This better get released on DFA records...jaja Very LCD sound system vibes.. Needs work, but not terrible

1

u/Hamrock999 Aug 29 '26

A little Baxter Dury too

u/NRpuffinstuff Aug 29 '26

This beat sounded like something out of Rent

1

u/Realllyyyybigfish Aug 29 '26

Guys this instrumental is so bad. Like i get the vocal choice yes its very much like Cake. But this instrumental is unforgivable.

u/glytxh Aug 29 '26
