This track is in the electronica genre, but utilizes the banjo and a phat synth bass. The "lyrics" are of a sampled voice mail from Abandon Theory drummer Randy Aldred who dubbed me Sir Jhon.
This was recorded at Nebulost studios in Austin. I played bass, Brian McClain played drums, and Jason Rufuss Sewell recorded the session. Later I added banjo and wrote a viola part forCatie Murphy Turner.
Sir Jhon
Bellizia
This is the debut album for "the punk grass bad ass" Jhon Bellizia
The Sir Jhon album uses the banjo and/or acoustic guitar as the foundation for each song. From there the production varies drastically. Some tracks call on fuzzed out synthesizers and saxophones while others use a violin or mandolin to complete the mood of the tune. Idiosyncratic
This is the debut album for "the punk grass bad ass" Jhon Bellizia
The Sir Jhon album uses the banjo and/or acoustic guitar as the foundation for each song. From there the production varies drastically. Some tracks call on fuzzed out synthesizers and saxophones while others use a violin or mandolin to complete the mood of the tune. Idiosyncratic lyrics are sometimes quirky and humorous, sometimes insightful or thought provoking. The clarinet, drum set, tongue drum, djembe, cabasa, snake charmer flute, saxophone, synthesizers, electric guitar, flute, violin, mandolin, bass, upright bass, and additional vocalists all appear on different tracks with different feels, yet the album congeals into a unified piece of art.
