Release Notes:
Those who listen to SnowdenÆs ôNo One in Controlö are likely to develop
a case of Stockholm syndrome. Whereas frontman Jordan Jeffares might
initially take them hostage with his suffocating atmosphere created by
layers and layers of textured sound, they might eventually develop
empathy for him and willingly submit to his claustrophobic ambience and
melodrama.
He doesnÆt make it easy. Many songs are too long, reverberations and
feedback are too domineering. But out of the blurry drones and muffled
arrangements emerges a singer sorting it all out.
Jeffares ù who moved his base from Atlanta to Austin, Texas, after
SnowdenÆs 2006 release, ôAnti-Antiö ù is a shoegazer at heart, so be
ready for ponderous musings and repetitions. Yet thereÆs ache in his
sometimes-semi-deadpan vocals, and his beautiful melodies float like
ghosts through the hypnotic convergence of electric vibrations, throbs
and hums punctuated by the demonstrative beats of drummer Chandler
Rentz.
Our apparitional narrator starts with his analysis on the epic and hazy
opener/title track. No one in control? ôThatÆs exactly why I like it.ö
He then rides the rumbling rhythm of the propulsive ôSo Redö and
shimmers in the embrace of ôAnemone Arms.ö His voice is especially
central to highlight track ôThe Beat Comesö as Jeffares issues his lines
in driving waves, ominous words such as, ôThereÆs no way to go back
now.ö
The rich, repellent/attractive sound is part Goth, part zombie surf,
part dreamy alt-rock. And in the case of SnowdenÆs cover of Love and
Rockets ôNo Words No More,ö itÆs deferentially dark and minimalistic.
The gloom is subtly broken at the end, in the lullaby closer ôThis Yearö
where Jeffares offers, ôIf you want, I will take you/But we have to go
now.ö And maybe against their instincts and for reasons they canÆt
explain, listeners will want to take him up on it. Because ôNo One in
Controlö is literally captivating, and Jeffares the captor is plainly in
control.
