Jo Passed - Their Prime (LP)

Add to Cart

The nicest thing anyone has ever said to Jo Hirabayashi, frontman of Jo Passed, is that his band'€™s debut album sounds like "€œfucked-up Beatles."€ Titled Their Prime, the album sounds like - somewhere across an '80s universe - Lennon and McCartney discovered Can and Neu! and maybe a little Sonic Youth and XTC along the way.

Opening with Left, Their Prime demonstrates that timeless knack for dreamy melodies - chord progressions that sound like they were created in a land far, far away. Lyrically, however, it'€™s imbued with a philosophical longing for answers to questions that have resurfaced for the first time since the explosion of counterculture in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
