A project from artist Kasey Jones, Art and Music has an alternative vision that is executed to a fault. We’re stoked right away by the catchy, lo-fi, and brief (2 min.) tune “Oh My Oh My.” Despite its raw, cymbal-crazy sound mix, its got a fun, youthful drive capped off with a perfect vocal tone for alt-rock material. The potential we heard in that song really whet our appetite to hear more. Alas, the next couple songs––both drowsy, low-energy outings––were unfortunately a buzzkill. “Never There” is a slow, spare, simple song that finds a rut and stays in it. Same can be said pretty much for “Memory Day” and its slow, sleepy, stoner beat capped by Jones’ AutoTune glazed emo vocal. Keep working.
