It Sound unleashes a visceral new soundscape with his latest LP, It’s Called Blood.
Steeped in a raw, DIY spirit echoing London’s post-punk heyday, each track plunges listeners into a captivating blend of cavernous bass thumps, colossal electric guitar, and rebellious messthetic cut-ups.
It’s a vibrant tapestry of pulsing colors, where organic meditations collide with hard pop, recalling the distorted elegance of the Velvets, the stoic jubilee of A Certain Ratio, and the dystopian thump of Pink Industry.
Born and raised in Seattle, Jesse Damm’s music echoes the raw, untamed beauty of the Pacific
Northwest. The music is complimented by the visual world of Parisian artist, Pascal Le Gras —
renowned for his striking work providing record covers for The Fall and The Jazz Butcher.
The art’s primal beauty perfectly captures the punk heart of It Sound’s sonic rebellion.
Though a one-man band, It Sound’s It’s Called Blood LP is further amplified by collaborations:
a dub-infused duet featuring Caithlin DeMarrais of Rainer Maria, mastering from avant-garde jazz nihilist Weasel Walter and vocals from his two children, Yana and Lukas.
Further, dive into a dub version of the album song In Between the Seas, brilliantly remixed by
Lectric Sands and recently released on George Chen’s Zum Audio Vol. 4 compilation –
available now on Spotify.
This release precedes the album track’s release this fall.
It’s Called Blood by It Sound is to be released on October 10th on Seahorse Recordings.
