Jaws - Stress Test

Stress Test by Jaws

4...according to our on Fri 28 Oct, 2011.

Performance art style sonics from this L.A. resident. It uses slithery, skronky electronics, confessional narrative and impromptu stratagems in an effort to brim the optics, confuse the mind and engage the body. Beginning as an exercise in speed and personality, “Stress Test” is the overheated, heaving combination of high ratchet club dynamics, constrained tempos, the cosmos and hive mind mentality(?), time sided protest music and an urgent thrust that can be found in all of us. On this short but sweet EP Jaws does away with content and form and creates a veritable kalidoscope of shimmering electronica and repetitive dubstep beats to sometimes great effect. This EP comes in a wraparound cardboard type sleeve that looks fancy and is limited to 300 copies...come get some, it's well dench!!

Jaws is a performance oriented sound from Los Angeles, California. It employs slithering electronics, confessional narrative, and impromptu stratagems in an effort to brim the optics, confuse the mind and engage the body.

Beginning as an exercise in speed and personality, Jaws has crossed the landscape multiple times, acquiring and discarding forms, tactics and participants with equal aplomb.

Stress Test is the overheated, heaving combination of high-ratchet club dynamics, materially constrained tempos, the island/cosmos hive mind, time sided protest music and the endless highway thrust imbued in all of US.

Its author has created and installed a series of kaleidoscopic audio books refracting the audio/visual condensed environment/shuffle lifestyle in galleries on each of his coasts. He has also worked in performative and editorial capacities with New York City's sound juggernauts Excepter.
