Inspired at a young age, Jonathan saw music as a way of expression that transcended language with emotionally evoking art. This led him to pick up the guitar at the age of 14 and never turn back. This drive over the past decade has led to 10 full- length albums and several EPs, Collaborations, and Singles with a noticeable diversity and evolution in style ranging from cinematic folk and ambient soundscapes to shoegaze, post-rock, and even metal. Not wanting to be limited to being just a recording artist, he has also taken his passionate and emotive sound to the stage, resulting in several captivating live shows. ![](https://jonathanfrasermusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/273747018_4817573351645435_4196344307114137881_n- 1.jpg) ## Latest and⏎ Upcoming Shows ## June 30th, 2025 show at The Wayfarer ## July 6th, 2024 show at Tiki Bar ## Latest album: Heaven is at a Distance ## Released October 24th For this past year and a half since my mother passed, I have been going through a time of reflection. This included grief, guilt, depression, withdrawal, rage, self-hatred, regret, apathy, and loneliness. These emotions were distinctly separate and intertwined. What I felt the most, was death. I wished most days that I was dead, that I could fade away from this pain. Nothing motivated me. I was just putting on a mask, faking my existence, wandering aimlessly day by day. Then, one day, I looked within myself and realized that I was already dead. It seemed like most of me died along with her and what was left was just a hollow shape without direction. I’ve forgotten how to live. With this epiphany, I now know that this isn’t how I want to be; I want to live. That is what this album encapsulates; being in a state of death and then the journey of rediscovering what it means to be alive. I don’t know what that is yet, but I know I’ll find it. ![](https://jonathanfrasermusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Untitled_edited_edited. jpg) ## Heaven is at a Distance ## October 24, 2021 [ Purchase Here ](https://jonathanfraser.bandcamp.com/album/heaven-is-at-a-distance) ## Reviews ## Beardman Reivews Heaven at a Distance is not an easy album to chew, it’s long and it has a depressing athmosphere but there is moments of beauty and serenity and due to the album’s very personal and intimate nature, it will eventually reward you…I could imagine Heaven at a Distance being a mirror to a soul of a person in the middle of a process of grieving or trauma, trying to find a way forward. A katharsis in process if you will.⁣ [ Link ](https://www.instagram.com/p/CHnOE5JJO2P/) ## Dissection of Euphony The emotional stress going through the loss of loved ones is made clear with abundance of feel conveyed via dynamics; one minute we listen to slow, atmospheric piano playing with voice recalling memories of the old days then one minute we get served with burst of anger of refusing to accept the tragedy symbolized by barrage of blastbeats and massive wall of sound from guitars and transitions to accoustic guitar, evidently being hopeful and trying to move on. The whole album wraps the feel of going through a loss beautifully.

But when listening to his music it becomes clear that there are some inner demons having taken hold of this man, who together with the help of some friends recorded some wonderful blackgaze music very much in the vein of Skyforest or Numenorean. A lot of swirling, swooshing, uplifting spherical guitar-work that is happening in these songs that are perfectly contrastingly laid upon driving drums.
