The Very Most is the primary creative vehicle for Boise, Idaho-based songwriter Jeremy Jensen. Since the early 2000s, the project has served as a bastion for high-concept, meticulously arranged indie pop.
Their sound is deeply rooted in the C86 and Sarah Records lineage, but updated with a distinctly American sense of baroque arrangement. Jensen often employs a rotating cast of collaborators, allowing the project to shift from stripped-back guitar pop to synth-heavy explorations as seen on 'Syntherely Yours.' Critically, they are recognized for their 'A Year With the Very Most' project, which demonstrated Jensen's prolific nature and dedication to thematic consistency. They occupy a specific niche in the indie underground, connecting the dots between the jangle-pop of The Smiths and the chamber-pop ambitions of The High Llamas. Despite their regional isolation in Idaho, they have maintained a global presence within the indie-pop community through consistent quality and a signature sound defined by earnestness and melodic precision.
