Jovontaes / Things Are Different Here

Hello Sunshine / Woodsist

“Jovantaes are Lexington, KY. They emerge from (and possibly define) my town’s peculiar skate / kraut / nihil / garage axis, evoking the smell of stale Miller High Life and burning couches: stumbling match-grip surf rolls; howling, chorused-out guitar; droning Adderall haze; and a singer who makes Will Shatter sound like Scott Walker. Imagine Moolah playing at a beach party on the edge of the Kentucky River, big gray globs of unidentifiable garbage drifting silently past and the dense wet air becomes gridlocked with mosquitoes.” —Trevor Tremaine (Hair Police)   The current (and longest-running) lineup consists of Mark Murray on guitar and electronics, Reid Small on drums and vocals, and Josh Blaine on bass and home modified electronics. Recorded mostly at Small’s Void Skateshop in Lexington, Things Are Different Here is a fresh look at the future of underground improvised music.
