There is only one Brother JT. Any psychedelic/garage/underground rock-and-roll enthusiast knows this man from Bethlehem who bangs to his own lysergic drum--who came from 80s back-from-the-grave revivalists THE ORIGINAL SINS and entered the solo world through the ultra-limited edition records on the now legendary TWISTED VILLAGE label. He defines the underground aesthetic, something that he has done during the last three decades, and his new record finds him still in peak songwriting and recording form (s). This slab of digital wax has a little more moog than usual, a little more groove: 3rd Ear Candy, his latest release on Birdman, is danceable, trance-able, romance-able and yet oh so very hallucinatory (-able). “I am the blob and I’m here to save you from your problems, so give me a job,” JT suggests on the low-pulsing second track. And he means it. He can save you. He can plug electricity through an amplifier and fuzz your mind anytime (yes..there is plenty of guitar on 3rd Ear Candy).
