LA Record Review:
Jesus Makes The Shotgun Sound's most recent EP is full of the kinds of surprises that in the wrong hands can be infuriating. While other bands that attempt similar eclecticism come off sounding like they are reaching further than their talents grant them license, Jesus Makes The Shotgun Sound manage to layer it so organically and with such brilliant sense of texture and mood that it never feels forced. Take opening track "Do not the clothes make the man!?!" Beginning with haunting minor key synthesizer triplets straight from the Martin Gore fake book - in fact, I'll give you the exact song: "Little 15," one of Depeche Mode's underrated best - the melody is joined by heavily processed vocals before opening into "Paranoid Android"-style acoustic strumming and anxious drums. "Ah," you'll say, "this sounds like OK Computer, but with a little more bad-trip paranoia undercurrents." Then you notice the bedrock undercurrent of industrial tinkering, as though Einsturzende Neubauten was practicing in the upstairs apartment and the sounds bled through. And did Regine Chassagne drop by for ten seconds to hammer on piano? Suddenly, after about three minutes, the song switches into a sludge-heavy fuzzed-out Cossack folk tune for a moment, like Black Sabbath playing "Bubak and Hungaricus." Then strings, back to Europe for the coda... and scene. And that's the first track. The rest of the album continues in much the sam vein (track 3, "(as we step out unto) the Moonlit Landerous" effectively melds Air's Virgin Suicides soundtrack and the Unicorns' "Tuff Ghost" with a hi-fi [but drunk... 'weepy' drunk] Olivia Tremor Control), complete with an eight-minute cover of Lee Hazelwood's "My Autumn's Done Come" that wouldn't sound out of place on the last 1/3 of The Wall. This band should be playing Disney Hall with the combined force of the L.A. Philharmonic behind them. Listen to this album soon.

"if anyone gets into the house, they say i'd get shot...[who said?] That's the eagle...The eagle works through General Motors. They have something to do with my General Motors check i get every month...when you do the 25 of the clock, it means that you leave the house 25 after 1 to mail letters so that they can check on you...and they know where you're at. Thats the eagle...If you dont do something they tell you to do, jesus makes the shotgun sound, and then...not to answer the phone or the doorbell...because you'd get shot [by the] eagle"
