After self-releasing his sample-based psych-folk and sitting in the production chair for a few fellow Georgians, he was picked up for a single and an EP on Young Turks. Now, Jones puts forth his debut long-player, Velvet Changes on Carpark Records.
Rather than working within the parameters of previous output, Velvet Changes sees Jones eschewing samples and expanding his palette to incorporate the dreamy aesthetics often associated with vintage 4AD bands like A.R. Kane or Cocteau Twins. From the moment opener βForever, Untilβ materializes, itβs clear that the record is in no rushβairy guitar strums, endearingly scrappy electronic drums, and reverb-soaked vocals slowly coming into the mix to create an environment of blissful languor. The songs tend toward mid-tempo ranges and are clearly entrenched in their atmospherics, but lack nothing in pure pop appeal. Many of Jonesβ earlier recordings had the feel of beat-tape sketches, but here tracks like βPrettiest Pillsβ and βSupersoakerβ use hooks, catchy guitar lines, and builds and releases to great emotional effect. When not wooing with its anthemic allure, Velvet Changes explores tension in subtle dissonance (βPaper Lungsβ) and lets itself meander toward its own fringes (βThe Woods and The Fireβ). A quick look through Dog Biteβs back catalogue shows that itβs a malleable entity, and Velvet Changes is proof that when Jones does settle into a sound, he can make it sound like heβs been there all along.
