Jonathan Kane - The Little Drummer Boy

Jonathan Kane's fat-bottomed grooves take your breath away, make you lose your mind? Well, it's the holidays, and Jonny can give as well as he can take, so here's his gift to you, boys and girls. It's a classic, The Little Drummer Boy, done in his inimitable style, with layers of guitars, snow-drift-deep bass — and you'd better believe there's drums. Hop into this sleigh — it's jacked-up, tricked-out, it's got 850 horses and not a restrictor plate in sight. Yep, it's always a Blue Christmas when Jonathan Kane comes to town. “The Music that Makes me Proud to be Human: Jonathan Kane's I Looked at the Sun says more with two songs than most bands can say in a lifetime. Funny that, as both tracks are instrumentals” —WFMU. “Intensely propulsive motorik blues, its muscularity and greased relentlessness is never less than exhilarating.” —Uncut. “I Looked At The Sun is as remorseless in its momentum as a wheat thresher with a well filled tool box on the gas pedal. It's white line fever transmuted into sound that'll take the wheel and drive your car across Kansas without ever hitting the shoulder” —Dusted. “One riff beat to a glorious death. I spent days listening to this on repeat” —CJSF. “Jonathan Kane's music is like a blessing, an epiphany for all those who dreamed to see crossing the metronomic fury of krautrock with the dense roughness of American blues. This American musician marries these two worlds with wonder, and even adds an amount of Velvets inherited dirtiness. This is a music of apocalypse that roasts the brain very much like the sun fries the eyes that are fixed on it too quickly or too long.” —Les Inrocks.
