Jetenderpaul - Presents the Modal Lines LP NEW
Burnt Toast Vinyl
'Elegantly modern, yet more authentic than the current avant- psychedelia, "Jetenderpaul Presents the Modal LInes" achieves in 13 tracks something almost unheard of--irony without emptiness, homage without imitation. Jetenderpaul’s third full-length finds these post-graduate indie popsters embracing pop melodies in the midst of their bedroom recording experimentation. Each of the 13 tracks on The Modal Lines are in the 3 minute realm, giving the tracks a greater sense of cohesion and melodic development than their previous efforts and are brimming with glorious transmogrifications. There is still experimentation with complicating pop formulas being mixed and changed, but still plenty of sugary hooks. Comparisons to The Flaming Lips, Guided By Voices, or Ween, but also Elephant Six related bands such as Olivia Tremor Control, Elf Power, or Of Montreal, with a lesser amount of that overall sense of psychedelia. If the songs’ hooks and crooks aren’t enough for you, Jetenderpaul uses an arsenal of heterodox instruments / sounds in the mix: sitar, bells, tympani, strings, analogues . . . Some people hop genres, but here, as elsewhere, JTP conflates and confuses them. Little wonder there's pieces of rubentine pop, as well as old tyme rock & roll, and a myriad of other fragments included herein. Jetenderpaul is faithful to its remote origins as chameleons of modern music.
Formed in Olathe, Kansas in 1996, Jetenderpaul take the Midwestern heart and run it through a blender of pop paranoia. You could call it subversive oldies or a Beatles reckoning but the end result is aggressive music with soulful humblings and rumblings.
