Critic Reviews
John Dwyer is the modern Bowie of the 2000s, for sure he has his own idiosyncratic way in composing music. Superb and luckily unrecognized by the mainstream.
JPD delivers once again with a putridly unique album from his solo project, "Damaged Bug". I had meaning to get to this one for a while but I just never did. Then I listened to Jet in Jungle on a whim and was immediately pulled in. It's a funny sounding mix of drum machines, acoustic drums, vintage synths and some other funky little bits. You can hear lots of little influences such as krautrock and punk. It's just plain fascinating.
Favourite: Jet in Jungle
Dwyer comes at the listener from all angles on this maximally disruptive yet seamless collage of psyche-synthesism. it has an Arthur Russell level of ambition but a trashier and earthier sound than AR. a trippy and kaleidoscopic ride through a melodic wonderland of electronic music. a great palate cleanser if you need a break from guitar-driven songs.
