Jogger "This Great Pressure" Album Review

Out today is Jogger’s album This Great Pressure, the first release on Magical Properties, Daedelus’ new imprint for Alpha Pup Records. Made up of Amir Yaghmai (violin, guitar, vocals) and Jonathan Larroquette (laptop, controller, vocals), Jogger rolls your brain around in a freshly finished sound, a future folk rocktronica hybrid that ranges the gamut of human emotions and music styles, from the feeling of the loving caress of a mother to that of being thrown into a volcano, from the picks of a banjo to the intensity of techno and drum and bass, from heavy metal howls to soft whispers to whomp. Listenable but never simply palatable, enthusiasts of every musical persuasion will find something to relish about This Great Pressure, which represents a new paradigm of beat science, electronic experimentation, indie rock and the unalienable groove.
