JFM is the musical alias of Toronto electronic experimenter Jesse Matthews and, by the sound of it, he found some truly unique locales to record his upcoming self-titled album. It's due out May 3 through Divorce Records.
A press release describes Matthews' unique process like this: "A nomadic creator, he navigates the outer sound waves, plucking bits and pieces of junk noise from the sonic ether as he drifts. Sure, he is travelling light: just a sampler full of useless memories from the radio, birds from the park where he slept, dudes at a party, squealing feedback to stab at your ears, bass and drums lifted off a dance club from way down the street at weed alley, whatever."
Even stranger, some of the album was apparently recorded on a remote control toy boat on a duck pond.
For a taste of JFM's unique style, check out the reggae-tinged, gentle herky-jerky "Felix" and the hypnotically ambient "Ezy2luv" below. Both tracks are accompanied by abstract, VHS-quality music videos.
JFM will be available in a vinyl pressing of 300. It's available to pre-order from Divorce Records' website. All vinyl pre-orders come with an art zine by Matthews.
