Comment: this album was released 11 years ago and as much as possible I searched for additional information about the artist to find out other possible outings but it is the only one. It can be admitted the artist erected the sonorous monument for himself. And it is a fine issue being obviously concordant with some indie and underground tendencies of the 00s. One of the prototypes then was Ariel Pink with his amazing out of time issues. Jonassis O`Hara used to produce similarly in methodological sense though musically his sound is more hirsute and rough and one-dimensional and stylistically it trends toward droning acid rock with hints at noise pop, post-punk, and also electronic music in the sense as if it were produced on Commodore 64 (only My Molly EP 2006 by Ariel Pink can be compared with it as similarly rough and broken). At times the 12-notch outing reminds of the aesthetics of The Fall, and Clinic. The issue is a part of the Swedish imprint Redstarcommunity. Great listening for sure.
