ReviewEdit

Though you may have never heard the name Telephone Jim Jesus, aka George Chadwick of the Northeast, his production skills have already graced many respectable underground artists including Restiform Bodies (which he is one third of), Sole and Passage. Armed with a bass, guitar and a number of drum machines, synths and effects pedals, T.J.J. has created a psychedelic collage of catchy beats, spacey samples, subtle guitar riffs and pretty piano melodies. The end result is an instrumental hip-hop-based album that touches on every feeling that your moody little head can throw at it. The album is also laced with early-60s vocal samples that create just enough of a narrative to make T.J.J.’s a.d.d. stricken musical style (read – a diverse selection of songs that run about 2 minutes each) into a cohesive record.
