Wes Jones

About Me


a near-perfect balance of various sounds and vibes...moves from emotional electric guitar chords and pensive pianos to warm, shimmering vocals effortlessly. despite the multitude of styles and techniques he uses, jones always sounds like him... virtually brimming with goodness.
-ground lift magazine
flashing back to the feeling when prefuse's first record first came out... a certain nostalgia in that chopped up prettiness, especially with the subtlety of mr. jones' production style. every song is solid and satisfying from beginning to end... let your mind wander to this one.
-turntable lab
there’s such a fine line between a nice chill downbeat and a slimy cut that would be found on an ultra lounge series and jones understands that perfectly... entirely composed by mr. jones, mount analogue has everything that makes hipstramentals oh so nice: heavy, infectious drums and soft alluring original instrumentation. downbeatempo is here to stay.
