Jex Thoth - Jex Thoth (2008)

Jex Thoth's first album seems a near-perfect listen here in late winter/early spring where the temperatures are fluctuating wildly between the 70's and the teens on the Fahrenheit Scale in the Midatlantic Region Of North America. There used to be oak forests now there are townhomes and agribusiness plots and roads and box stores. Today the asphalt was highly reflective even as it absorbed the sun in the cold. The distortion on this album is raw and unstable, the vocals wavering but clear and plaintive. Spring is here even if and as it forgets. <3 nathaxn
