“Genre-mashup” is never a pretty phrase. Just stop.
Let's just say that this free download from Jeremiah Jae, a virtual unknown from Chicago who also goes by Jae R, dropped this free 11-track “EP” on Los Angeles label Brainfeeder back in December, and it goes farther than anything we've heard to employ dirty vinyl sampling and tape hiss psych jams in the same track without coming off a foreigner in either territory.
With an eclecticism that spans the taut campfire jams of Manitoba-era Caribou (Vertical Pupils), foam-walled hypnagogic psych ward looping (Wstrn Medicine), and dirty vinyl sampling and weird visual lyricism alla Doom himself (Money Huggers), may we present you with some Approved Theft.
