Artist : Intonamori
Title : Ear Weevils 2

4 excellent new tracks - this is a pretty good snapshot of where Jon's music's at right now - a little colder / more challenging than the first installment but sitll well worth a listen...
"Listening to Ear Weevils 2 can be a woozy and disorientating experience. Four tracks made equally with traditional and virtual instruments, not many of which escape from extensive processing and looping once recorded. Guitars are twisted into new shapes, Jon’s occasional vocals modulated beyond recognition, remnants of found sounds battle for space with walls of analogue keyboards. And then, just when you think you know where it is all heading, up crops something simple and pretty.
The same obsessive attention to detail present in previous Intonamori music is in evidence here with all sounds being either played on acoustic instruments and re-sampled or built from the ground up. Save for a solitary electric piano, there is no room for pre-existing samples or presets in the world of Ear Weevils. Oddly pastoral, the music (and its author) here yearns for a release from the day-to-day concrete and metallic mundanity of city life. Even at its most harsh and electronic under the surface glows a strange warmth, pulsing and flickering."
