Details

JET BLACK CRAYON RE-EMERGES WITH THEIR FIFTH RELEASE AND THE FIRST SINCE 2004'S INACCURACIES OF THE MIND MACHINE. ON IN THE INTERIM, TOMMY GUERRERO (QUANNUM PROJECTS, MO'WAX, GALAXIA, FUNCTION 8), MONTE VALLIER (EX-SWELL, DEF AMERICAN/AMERICAN RECORDINGS, BEGGARS BANQUET) AND GADGET (FUNCTION 8) WORKED CLOSELY WITH INDEPENDENT FILMMAKERS, AND SEVEN OF THE NINE TRACKS ON THE ALBUM ARE COMPLEMENTED WITH SHORT FILMS. THE FILMMAKERS INCLUDE ANDREW PAYNTER (MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHER, ARTIST), DAN WOLFE (SKATEBOARD FILMMAKER: REAL SKATEBOARDS, NIKE SB, ADIDAS SB, ETC.), GREG HUNT (SKATEBOARD FILMMAKER: DC SHOES, TRANSWORLD MEDIA, ALIEN WORKSHOP), CHERYL DUNN (FILMMAKER AND PHOTOGRAPHER: BEAUTIFUL LOSERS) AND CHRISTOPHE BEAUCOURT (INDEPENDENT FRENCH FILMMAKER). THOSE FAMILIAR WITH JET BLACK CRAYON WILL FIND A RENEWED SOUNDSCAPE, AND THOSE FAMILIAR WITH GUERRERO'S MUSIC WILL NOTE A MORE VISUAL, CEREBRAL, AND TEXTURAL SOUND. THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN MUSIC AND FILM ON IN THE INTERIM IS KEY. THE CREATIVE PROCESS WAS A TRUE COLLABORATION-THE BAND AND THE FILMMAKERS EXCHANGED ROUGH MIXES AND EDITS, ALLOWING THEM TO SHAPE THE RESPECTIVE AUDIO AND VISUAL PARTS IN TANDEM. SOME OF THE SONGS DYNAMICALLY MOVE TO THE FILMS WHILE OTHERS CREATE A MOODY SCORE. CHECK OUT MUSICAL CAMEOS FROM JOHN HERNDON AND DAN BITNEY (TORTOISE) ON "LOST IN THE FOG," THE POWERFUL SPOKEN WORD OF PETE SIMONELLI (THE ENABLERS) ON "MY FAIR ROMANS," AND LONGTIME JET BLACK CRAYON COLLABORATOR CHARLIE HALL PLAYING DRUMS ON "BRIGHTER DAYS."
