– JAWW – in session for Marc Riley and David Coe – BBC 6 Music – October 2, 2023 – BBC –
Burning a hole through Monday night – JAWW in session for Riley & Coe at BBC 6 Music, recorded just hours ago.
About JAWW from their Bandcamp page:
JAAW is a post-industrial supergroup featuring Andy Cairns (Therapy?), Jason Stoll(Mugstar, KLÄMP, Sex Swing), Wayne Adams (Death Pedals, Big Lad, Petbrick) and Adam Betts (Three Trapped Tigers, Goldie, Squarepusher). JAAW glories in big riffs and massive hooks, while also pushing the boundaries of what that even means thanks to its uncompromising strangeness.
Recorded intensely in a matter of days at Wayne’s Bear Bites Horse Studio in London, ‘Supercluster’ is one of the most distinctive and exciting records that will be released this year, so heavy in textures that repeat listens will prove endlessly rewarding.
In the back of JAAW’s minds are the 1990s: an era when the experimental heaviness of acts like Ministry and Godflesh could find surprisingly large audiences.
They also draw on the sonic ground that’s been broken since: the disorientating ferocity of Brazil’s DEAFKIDS, the gaseous, shapeshifted vocals on Burial’s records, and the freakout-laden noise-rock of Lightning Bolt.
JAAW’s sounds, ideas and modes all bleed into each other. “The lyrics, too, are part of the same whole,” adds Cairns. “I feel you could drop the needle at any point on this record and you know where you are with it. To me, it’s like greyscale psychedelia. It’s just this… experience.”
The greyscale psychedelic revolution starts here. You’d be crazy not to jump in.
Press Play and crank it up.
