The Bones of J.R. Jones w/ Jarrod Dickenson

The Bones of J.R. Jones: (Brooklyn, NY)

It’s easy to understand, then, why Linaberry—better known as The Bones Of J.R. Jones—wouldcall his mesmerizing new album Slow Lightning. As its title would suggest, the collection is rawand visceral, pulsating with an understated electrical current that flows just beneath itsseemingly placid surface. The songs are restless and unsettled here, often grappling with doubtand desire in the face of nature and fate, and frequent collaborator Kiyoshi Matsuyama’sproduction is eerily hypnotic to match, with haunting synthesizers, vintage drum machines, andghostly guitars fleshing out Linaberry’s already-cinematic brand of roots noir. The result is amoody, ominous work that’s equal parts Southern Gothic and transcendentalist meditation, aninstinctual slice of piercing self-reflection that hints at everything from Bruce Springsteen and Bon Iver to James Murphy and J.J. Cale as it searches for meaning and purpose in a worldwithout easy answers.
