j xaverre - skaterdater ep
this is j-x's second release and as has widely been reported is the new vehicle for 'johnny x' the drummer from indie upstarts kenikie aka pete gofton.
for these songs though he has become a whole new sound.
of the 5 sublime tracks 2 are throwaway instrumental demo ideas and are not to be taken too seriously, but for the three tracks proper they are definitley indication of a hidden talent, the songs are delicate, addictive homages to melody. comparisons with mercury rev and beck are appropiate as j-x use a vairiety of soundscapes alongside the traditional guitar lines adding a whole new dimension to the songs.
beautiful.
