Product Information
No Joy / Sonic Boom is Jasamine White-Gluz and Pete Kember. You know Jasamine from her eight-years (and counting) stint as a founding member and principal songwriter of Canadian shoegaze / noise-pop band No Joy. And Pete Kember is Sonic Boom, of Spacemen 3, Spectrum, and E. A.R.
While neither can accurately recollect how they met, the pair first touched on the idea of working together in an exchange of emails during the fall of 2015. No Joy had just finished touring on the back of LP More Faithful (their third full-length on the Mexican Summer imprint, and their heaviest to date), and Jasamine was eager to walk a new path. »No Joy functioned as a four-piece `rock band' for so long«, she says. »I wanted to pursue something solo where I collaborated with someone else who could help me approach my songs from a completely different angle. Pete is a legend and someone I've admired for a long time. Being able to work with him on this was incredible.«
What started as a sonic exploration between two friends passing songs back and forth intercontinentally, with Jasamine writing and producing songs in Montreal and Pete writing, arranging, and producing in Portugal – soon grew into a project of substance, the result being four glistening tracks that dance along the lines of electronica, trip-hop and experimenta l noise. »I wrote some songs that were intended for a full band and handed them off to Pete, who helped transform them. I barely knew how to use MIDI so I was just throwing him these experiments I was working on and he fine-tuned my ideas. There are barely any guitars on this album, because I was focused on trying to find new ways to create sounds.«
The No Joy / Sonic Boom EP begins with the 11+ minute epic »Obsession«, a disco-y dream trance jam that ebbs and flows, before »Slorb« slinks in, casting its seductive spell. »Triangle Probably« rings triumphant, an industrial beat thumping below, the track interwoven with Jasamine's silvery vocals. »Teenage Panic« begins in celebration, brimming with hope and excitement, and then – a full stop – before striking back in the form of a droning loop that gathers more and more layers as it spins out into the infinite void. No Joy / Sonic Boom is an experiment in testing boundaries and stepping out of comfort zones gone cosmically right.
