Justin and Jason Hendry make up the Jeremiah Foundation duo. The Kansas-based artists create their noisy music for years now (however, not very systematically) and it's pretty clear that it's more or less a hobby project. But the new EP, released in September Waves, makes a good, airy and pretty noisy piece of entertainment nonetheless.
On Waves, the duo decided to experiment with the process of making their music so it can sound somewhat different. The results include four tracks that combine post-punk/industrial atmosphere with noise pop/dream pop ethereal qualities. The two brothers, previously being the members of punk-rock band called Public Fred, fill their music with electronic sounds enriched by all types of loops and sampling effects, creating a thick layer of noise on which the delicate vocals are located. The electronic-guitar backgrounds can go beyond the song's frames, creating a psychedelic-rock-like drony soundscapes.
I really enjoy the more experimental sound of the two remixes presented on the album. While Seeing, Touching, Breathing makes a more pop-like melodic song, its remix gives the audience a solid dose of glitchy, psychedelic madness while the album's finish in the remix of Fiery Red Fields, brings a lot of the mesmerizing, trance-inducing qualities. Although the album is really just two tracks and their remixes, it feels actually very coherent and attractive as a whole. A solid approach to psychedelia.
Waves costs whatever you want to pay.
