| Jinnwoo - Your Baby EP |
Release Date: 16th June 2014
Brighton based Jinnwoo impressed
me no end with his last single so this new EP is a welcome arrival in my inbox.
Opening up with 'Your Baby' and instantly we're transported to a dark and bleak
place in the man's soul that exists in the shadows and feeds off frustration and
despair in equal measure. 'You Should Be Feeling This Elliott' is a delicately
beautiful song that has country elements submerged beneath a huge swathe of
indie expansiveness that sees Jinnwoo blend his vocals with those of the
supremely talented Kyla La Grange with great results.
On 'Sorrysong', Jinnwoo takes
things down to a darker place (if that's possible) to create a song that sounds
like trapist monks creating demos of Depeche Mode songs with nothing but a
microphone, a broken piano and a draft. 'Solo Man (feat. Alasdair Roberts)' is
a twisted, tortured piece of acoustic madness featuring some disharmonious vocals
harmonies that give this a dark, occultish feel. And this is where Jinnwoo
excels, in creating an atmosphere and sensation that things aren't all as well you
might have hoped. Essentially, this is the musical equivalent of the gut
wrenching feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when something truly
horrible has happened and it might be your fault. Music should always evoke emotion
and boy does Jinnwoo tick that box.
