Before you listen to Denis Jones’ “Red + Yellow =”, limber up. His sound is like beat-boxing battle cry with an electronic tribal dance round a digital bonfire. I dare say this might be the kind of music John Martyn would do nowadays, if he was still alive. Denis Jones’ voice and his self taught guitar play is quite impressing, but it’s absolutely intriguing what he does with a loop station, samplers and effects. It’s like you can watch him constructing his wall of sound, brick by brick until the building is finished and ready for occupancy. “Clap Hands” is one of the best opening tracks, I’ve heard in a long time. “Rage” almost hypnotized me, when I first listened to it and it’s followed by “New Note” and eight minute post-rock influenced piece. The cool jazz trumpet in “Conception, Consumption and Radiation” finally proves that you can’t tie Denis Jones’ music to a particular genre. So, let’s put it this way: he’s a curious mind with a beautiful soulful voice and the right plug-in connections. (release date: 19/09/2010 on Humble Soul)
