'Blue Skies' for Mecuzine
Having slimmed down from a 5-piece band into a duo, Joseph and Tony Johns draw inspiration from various eras, the shimmering sound of 80’s synths, the indie guitar tones the 90’s, timeless piano lines and all manner of samples and beats of more recent times, forging these together to create a signature sound.
Their latest release, ‘Blue Skies’, is a loose and languid, slow-burner, one that skitters along on electronic beats but is also grounded with shards of chiming guitar and meandering and mysterious bass lines.
A dark wistful offering, ‘Blue Skies’ encompasses downbeat, trip-hop merging with chilled, stoner rock. It’s a David Lynch-esque soundtrack just waiting for a call from an underground filmmaker.
