ace018: social junk "born into it" CD $13 / CD + cassette $18
Social Junk have blasted through walls, east & west, over the past few years cranking out some serious sparklers along the way. Now after dropping a megaslice of deliciousness on Not Not Fun last year, this duo follow it up with a journey through the mother earth canal. "Born Into It" stretches across the lands with thudding percussion and hypno synth excursions. Waves of swirling vocals from both Heather Young and Noah Anthony. You may have just been born, but stretch those wings baby because it's time to fucking fly.
There's no going back once you take the first plunge on "Born Into It." Immediately, through no fault of your own, you'll be drawn in and tied down. At times it feels like Young & Anthony are scouring the lands, taking in whatever technological progress they can find and chewing it up and spitting it out into a gloriously dissonant pile. This is music for the next wave; music to find your way back to the sun. Social Junk are soaring like never before and "Born Into It" is their latest testament to a new world.

Praise for Social Junk:
"in addition to random, disconnected vocals (which are also lower in the mix), there's two fantastic elements which will play off of each other to glorious affect." - smooth assailing
"The closing track 9 handles the job like it should do, a fully formed piece starting with edgy drones, foggy feedback, bells and the vocal space meditations of previous tracks all work together to build a formidable dronescape that slightly matches the mysterious intensity of Taj Mahal Travellers or, more recently, Double Leopards." - Joris Heemskerk |
