2007, Sub Pop
VINYL FORMAT. Dark and minimal while noisy and earnest, the point of this duo was to be as sparse and repetitive as possible with the help of little more than vocals, guitars, and a drum machine. Disenchanted vocals thinly resonate while cloaked in a frenzied undertone of fear and uncertainty, all punctuated by bare drum machine beats. Their debut is a record of melancholic tendency and heartfelt desire; a stripped down symphony relegated between city and country, and made for ears of either side.

Customer Reviews




jon d'Plague Park' is extremely minimalist when compared with the likes of Wolf Parade and in some sense disappointing because Boeckner's best songs from 'Apologies...' ('We Built Another World', 'It’s a Curse') were fast and sonic mindfucks. This offering contains mostly songs that are slower in pace and stripped of everything besides guitar, drum machine and keyboard. The album more closely resembles 'Modern World' or 'Same Ghost Every Night' where it relies more on Boeckner's lyrics and hoarse/coarse voice to carry through the song.
