Edito de JatunJatun is Alan Grosvenor (guitar, keys, bass, loops) and Scott Worley(vocals, keys, guitar, laptop). Alan and Scott met in Portland, OR circa '04, and started writing the songs that would slowly form into the mish-mash of cables, circuits, ivory and alcohol known as "Jatun." They began recording their self-titled debut album in September 2005, and it's been engineered/mixed by Scott & Alan and mastered by Carl Saff of Saff Engineering. The first recorded Jatun song was "Ion Crush," which was featured in a Nike SB promo video for the Zoom Tre shoe and is also featured on the Signal Snowboards webpage. In the near future, the songs "Ghost and Grey" and "The Temptation of Joy" will be used by Norwegian company Helly Hansen, accompanying snowboard and ski team imagery for an upcoming DVD release. Additionally the video clips are being used on the Helly Hansen website as a part of their HHTV program. Influenced by an expansive range of artists, genres and styles, Alan and Scott have learned to interpret and appreciate sound from a broad perspective. Such open ears have facilitated an understanding of sonic interplay, and acute attention to arrangement and detail. Armed to the teeth with an arsenal of quality, vintage gear and a penchant for capturing the resultant noises, they craft music thoroughly and thoughtfully. Lush, enveloping and hyper-textured, Jatun's songs blanket themselves around your ears and saturate your head with warm and intoxicating, Orange-tinged tones. Praise from S/T current PR campaign: "Of all the many, many groups out there making tunes with a laptop at the heart of the project, Jatun is one of the best." 4 Out of 5 Stars - Sound The Sirens "The lush musical soundscape can pull you in at times...and it's easy to see this as a soundtrack to a rainy afternoon." - Infuze "Delightfully delicate and beautiful stalactites of sonic coolness." Editors Pick - Smother "The intensity here is unmistakable, and all knowing." 4 Out of 5 Stars -Music Emissions "A lo-fi symphony for the future. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." -Erasoul "This album brings back a touch of late 1980's with enough new elements to keep it fresh." -Phosphor "Jatun combines real instrumentals with digital trickery that allows a more full-bodied orchestral sound that otherwise escapes a lot of electric auteurs. Listenable by every measure, Grosvenor and Worley make beautiful music together."-Lucid Forge Lire la suite
