about

The DFA debut from longtime family member Jayson Green also marks the return of the classic DFA twelve-inch.

Jay’s sung in a lot of bands. Like, a lot, all with great names. Panthers, Violent Bullshit, Cheeseburger, and, perhaps most canonically, the legendary hardcore band Orchid (who, it should be noted, just announced some reunion shows in May). He’s always been a smart and hilarious frontman, quick with a withering joke but never quite cynical.

Now leading his own band as Jayson Green and the Jerk, he’s delivered us a classic a-side in “Local Jerk,” which sounds like a party because it was recorded during one: tight disco drums, big claps, a neck-rolling baseline, horns, gang vocals. You can literally hear the bottles clinking.

The head trip is the b-side, “I Need Love,” which is a most terrifying, ridiculous piece of nightlife satire dripping in slo-mo electro.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
