Perpetual Lotion EP

A 3 track electropop ep (14m 52s) — released June 27th 2011 on Freshly Squeezed

Jem Stone's unique take on any genre is always compelling and highly individual.

He made an impressive and memorable contribution to the early days of electro swing with the break-beat, dance-floor-filling flavors of his debut release on Freshly Squeezed, the Electric Circus EP (2010).

Now Jem returns with a perfectly timed and unexpectedly fresh twist on a sound that has sometimes, in less skilled hands, become formulaic in it's swift rise. The Perpetual Lotion EP raises the bar once again and opens up many new possibilities. This record will change the future direction of electro swing!

Here the 1920s and 30s samples aren't just backed by a house beat, but given such a distorting twist the whole has become something else entirely. The EP is slower and darker than before with brooding bass and deeper production that adds a vital contemporary edge.

As before, look out for the accompanying animations on YouTube - www.youtube.com/jemstonemusic - and in particular Jem's full-length album later in 2011.
