Reviews and Comments
Bas Jan announce reissue of 'Baby U Know' (Out 17th March). A heady collision of Raincoats-esque indie and ESG-paced rhythms fed through a kaleidoscopic pagan folk filter. The follow up to their critically acclaimed 2018 debut ‘Yes I Jan’, this release is a wordy slice of state-of-the-art social commentary wrapped in a perfectly-balanced soundscape that veers from funky minimalism to baroque dream pop. Newly revisited, and out today, it includes an unreleased RAGGS ‘Profile Picture’ remix from prolific post-punk guitarist, Rachel Aggs. Known for collaborative projects with Sacred Paws, Shopping and Trash Kit, Rachel Aggs has been a major influence on London’s and Glasgow’s DIY scene and is a close associate of the band. This new remix brings a heady dance-floor touch to their up-beat off-kilter track. “Post punk meets art pop!” London In Stereo With a hint of Ari Up styled vocals backed by a harmonious chorus of concern touching on everything from incantations, essential causes and systematic shopping, all underpinned by a raking violin and bewitching electronic hum.
