John & Jehn give love a bad name.
I have a hangover and I really don’t envy those of you who are at Coachella right now. Why? Cause it’s 96 degrees in Tustin so I can only imagine how hellacious the heat is in Indio. Bad enough to warrant usage of the word ‘hellacious’. Which apparently isn’t even a real word. Look what you make me do.
Anyway, I thought I’d share something with those of you who aren’t full of beer and being microwaved by the desert sun today: John & Jehn. I first heard John & Jehn on Friday when I wasn’t supposed to be screwing around on myspace, and they literally made me jump out of my office chair. I’m not sure if it REALLY warrants that much excitement, but I always get stoked when I find new music that’s actually GOOD. Anyway yea I got a little too stoked about it and actually gasped with excitement. Everyone in the office stared at me like I was crazy, but I wasn’t even embarassed. That means I dig it. You will too.
John & Jehn are the cutest thing since Pebbles & Bam Bam, and The Line of Best Fit wasn’t just being really, really cheesey when they wrote that John & Jehn’s music was “like darts from cupid”. If you like Suicide and the Jazz Butcher and LSD and harmonicas and couples who are so fucking cute that they seriously make you want to yak, then this will be your favorite thing ever. If you don’t like those things I feel bad for you. Except for the LSD part. I don’t really like that stuff either.
Moving on.
These tracks are from their April 23rd Faculty Music release, called, simply, “John & Jehn”. If you like what you hear you can listen to the whole thing by clicking these blue words, and you can buy it by clicking these other blue words.
