  • Jew Point Owe

    Jew Point Owe is the answer to the timeless question. That is, if the timeless question is “What do you get when you juxtapose (not so) simple folk songs with electronic dysfunction?”.

    Over a year in the making, Jew Point Owe began as a series of folk songs, each with a compositional twist, to serve as ‘lead sheets’ to be interpreted. True to form, each one was recorded with unique instrumentation, and approached differently. The electronic half comes from laptop/DIY electronics improvisations created to counterbalance the acoustic nature of the initial songs.
