Hey everyone! We’ve missed you all and we’re super excited to start playing live shows this summer! (Yay vaccines!)
We’re playing a short streamed set for Trenton’s Art All Night tomorrow, June 19th at 7pm, which you can check out here!
Then our first live show will be in Ocean City, MD, June 24th, with our Procrastination Records friends Church Grim, at Crawl Street Tavern, 9pm!
The following Saturday, June 26th, we’ll be playing in Paterson, NJ at a groovy new DIY arts space, Prototype, details here!
Then looking ahead to July and August, we’ll be back at John & Peter’s in New Hope, PA on July 17th, and at Rhizome in DC on August 14th, details to come!
We would like to thank Gareth for his lively and vivid writing about Another Adventure in Red, our latest album. Concrete Islands, where the review appears, is a London-based website founded by Stewart Gardiner that features some very exciting new music as well as pieces about contemporary literature, visual arts, and spirituality. We have made some wonderful listening discoveries there, like Bristol-based Tara Clerkin Trio, and the Door to the Cosmos compilation, released by London’s On the Corner Records.
There’s a magic potency encoded in everything JOF undertakes here. Each composition has the detail you’d expect from a band who have a list of all their gigs since forming many years ago. It’s how they embellish their themes so subtly that impresses; like you’re standing naked one moment, to be luxuriously robed minutes later. As ever with JOF, your comfort zone is their target. Expect the unexpected.
And we’d like to thank Nick for hosting a very vibrant interview, where we laughed a lot, and got to revisit the band’s history, discuss politics and Philip Glass, as well as look forward to the band’s future plans. 25YL is a web publication that analyzes TV, films, music and games, with a section dedicated to Twin Peaks, which happens to be a show that we love. Just as David Lynch relishes the use of the doppelgänger archetype, we are taking advantage of this motif in our in-production video for “God and Godlessness,” as one can see in the still Nick featured as the header photo!
