Jon Cohen Experimental – passion pilgrim (CD)




This is the third solo music album from Jon Cohen. Jon is a veteran of the Montréal music scene. He`s been a guitarist for: John Lennox, JF Robitaille, The Social Register and The Dears. I never heard his music before. I bought this out of sheer curiosity at Renaissance Montréal (for only two Canadian dollars, feed me more). This is a short & sweet EP (five songs = 23.44 minutes). After repeated listens I`m impressed. Every song`s amazingly crafted. He likes to explore various styles; song oriented lo-f indie with new wave elements (in order to survive), lo-fi psychedelic pop (rhapsody in pink), an out there / schizophrenic / psychedelic blues / rock lil number (weakness), minimal yet melancholic song oriented bedroom pop music (blood on the microphone), and a Joy Divisionesque indie / pop gem (is there love in your heart). Different influences at work here: The Beatles, The Byrds, Joy Division, David Bowie, Human League and The Cure. Get your info here: http://thejcex.com/about/
