5000 presents a launch party for John & Jehn's new single 'Time For The Devil', ahead of their forthcoming album of the same name.
"Elegant art-pop" - Mojo
A casual listen reveals the lineage between John & Jehn and PiL, XTC, The Psychedelic Furs, The Stranglers and their ilk, but also classic pop as they move from brooding atmospherics, key-stabbed, bass-driven, night-crawling, Roxy-Music-stalking numbers, dripping with thinly-veiled insouciance, and sweet melodies laced with hand-claps cheery synth lines, rhythmic pianos and 'la la las', all pulled together with lyrics laced with literary barbs and acerbic wit.
"A pop-noir wonder." - Time Out
Never less than compelling - to the feet and the head - John & Jehn finally deliver on record what they always delivered live: pop songs, hypodermically injected with dancefloor potency.
"Full of DIY doom-pop promise." - The Independent
