LFTF001: Jaw Jam- Untitled EP

Putting a finger on what it is that draws us to the obtuse sounds of Oberlin, Ohio native Will DiMaggio aka Jaw Jam is tricky. Moreover, talking about his music is hard, because there really isn't anything out there to relate him to. But for LFTF001, our very first Our Sounds release, this was exactly what we wanted. In a time when it seems everyone is diverging toward the same style, Jaw Jam has always triumphantly veered left--making his own lane with each new tune. And on the 19-year-old's debut EP Untitled, this notion of individuality has never been clearer. From the unorthodox structuring, to the elusive vocal samples, to the slap-happy synth lines, Untitled leaves you sonically submerged--a rush of curious soundscapes that engulf like a raging river. Again, there's no telling what it is exactly that has us under Jaw Jam's rampant spell, but what ever it is, we never want to wake up.
