Whether it's with the Chromatics, Desire, or Glass Candy, Portland producer Johnny Jewel crafts the most shimmering and effervescent of disco jams. Unlike the majority of contemporary electronic-centered artists, he also does it without the help of a computer: this thoughtful, intricate, and highly danceable funk is played by hand on a range of vintage drum machines and keyboards that date back to the 1970s. Even before Ida No's vocals kick in on these two new Glass Candy tracks, Jewel's cascading synth-dripped melodies and ominous growls of bass have my ears glued to the speakers with a compelling magnetic force. Clearly, Johnny Jewel was put on this planet to do one thing: play music.
