Johnny Jewel's newest project, "Symmetry".

 

This is spreading like wildfire.

Do listen to the whole thing.

Or block out some time.

I'm driving up to Seattle from Portland to this in about 45 mins to visit family.

Happy Holidays.

Desire: "Don't Call" & "Under Your Spell (Extended)"

 It's taken me a while to warm up to Desire the way I have with Glass Candy and Chromatics.

All 3 are the designer projects of visual synth bather, Johnny Jewel.

After the movie Drive, Desire stole my heart.

I can't get enough of these two songs.

The timing couldn't be more perfect for Johnny.

This is the year of Giorgio Moroder.

"Drive" Original Soundtrack

 

 

Not only is this one of the best movies of the year, it also packs a memorable soundtrack.

This one is worth seeing a handful of times while it's still in theaters.

You might recognize the minimal synth of Desire & Chromatics influencing most of the atmoshpere.

 

Desire - "Under Your Spell"

College - "A Real Hero (Feat. Electric Youth)

Chromatics - "Tick Of The Clock"

Chromatics @ The Rotture tonight

I've been anticipating this show for months. Glass Candy and Chromatics. I'll be simmering in the warm night under street lights, watching cars go by. They are oblivious to what I see. I see tracers. I'll drive my taxi to your bar and tell the bums to get a job. This is the city. Roll with it. The groove will pull you out. Keep a short memory and meet me at the Hotcake House at 3:00am. Welcome to Portland, Oregon.

Check out their new song, "Circled Sun".
