TIME HAS MOVED ON.. US- COOPER AND JONES HAVE EXPANDED DISTANCE, ONE TO LYON AND THE OTHER TO LONDON - TOWNS APART. PERHAPS THE BEGINNING AND ENDING ARE STILL TO PASS, WE'LL REUNITE SOME SUNNY DAY AND LET THEE KNOW ALL ABOUT EET. INNEREET.ONCE TWINS SEPARATED AT BIRTH, SOPHIE COOPER AND KELLY JONES HAVE over the last few years of 2005, 2006 and 2007 REDISCOVERED THEIR PSYCHIC GUITAR RAPPORT. It may be difficult but fair to say that neither FINGER TAPPER [sofie] nor ARPEGGIATING VIRTUOSO [kellyjayne] had been in a real ROCKANDROLL band before now. Since, they have played with some very amazing people and experienced a premier UK Tour 2007. Today at request, In harlequin robes they clomp gracefully with cement clogs on the flat top box coffins of several old folk guitar players and similar, flouting / flaunting disregard for the things they, you and Us All hold to be acoustically INappropriate; RECKLESSLY/METICULOUSLY CRAFTING PROGRESSIVE SHARDS OF FRAGILE TIGHTLY KNITTED SWIRLING STEEL STRUNG FOLK.Releases: Cooperjonesnichols – Structure of Joi (2006 Hearing Aid Tapes and 2007 re-release CDR)THIS HAS HAD A REVIEW ON :http://www.blastitude.com/main.htm THIS MAKES US HAPPY :) They are a guitar/guitar/drums trio, you know, the same lineup as, oh, Lambsbread and (certain eras of) the aforementioned Harry Pussy, and with Stuckometer and Milk Teeth still ringing in my ears, I expected more of the same (insane noise rock splatter). But hey, I’m excited to report that CJN throw curves with quietude, restraint, and acoustic guitars, playing out-there, angular, adventurous, rather melodic, exploratory free skiffle with a nice 80s DIY rainy-day melancholy undercurrent (thanks to distinct basement-hollow home-taper sound that is quite a bit grungier than the songs on their MySpace). This would make a nice 7-inch!
