Javelin

Formed in 2005 by cousins Tom Van Buskirk and George Langford, Brooklyn, NY-based indie electronic duo Javelin crafts funky, abstract, R&B-flavored pop with an emphasis on painstakingly re-created samples and loops. The band's 2009, self-released collection of demos (Jamz n Jemz) and pair of Thrill Jockey 12"s (Javelin, Number Two) were followed by their debut album, No Mas, on the Luaka Bop label in 2010. The Canyon Candy EP followed one year later. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
