,: The nicest thing anyone has ever û ever û said to Jo :,
: Hirabayashi, frontman of Jo Passed, is that his band's debut :
:' album sounds like ôfucked-up Beatlesö. 'Their Prime', the ':
,: full-length follow-up to Jo PassedÆs two EPs, 'Up' and 'Out', :,
: does sound like fucked-up Beatles. It sounds like Lennon and :
:' McCartney discovered Can and Neu!, and maybe a little Sonic ':
,: Youth and XTC along the way. It demonstrates that timeless knack :,
: for dreamy melodies û chord progressions that sound like they :
:' were created in a land far, far away. Lyrically, however, it's ':
,: imbued with a philosophical longing for answers to questions :,
: that have resurfaced for the first time since the explosion of :
:' counterculture in the late 1960s and early 1970s. ':
,: :,
: 'Their Prime' is a record about identity and the loss of time :
:' that happens as a direct consequence of being in the city with ':
,: nowhere to rent, no time outside of employment and no realistic :,
: expectations to live up to. It encompasses that fear of being :
:' beyond the glory years, the most creatively fruitful period of ':
,: oneÆs life. Those years were lost to contemporary struggles for :,
: working relationships, home, identity and space. ôIt's me owning :
:' my worst nightmare,ö he admits. ôA lot of the Jo Passed project ':
,: has been about confronting fears. I was afraid to move away from :,
: Vancouver to Montreal on my own. Afraid to leave musical :
:' relationships I had. Afraid to bear the full responsibility of ':
,: a project. Being open about those fears is a good way of dealing :,
: with them. You end up at this point where you hit 30 and you're :
:' like, 'Oh what happened? Am I done? Did I not activate my main ':
,: creative energy?' It's a ridiculous idea but 30 feels a little :,
: like 1000 in rock n roll terms.ö You can hear the frustrations :
:' and the jitters in the crashing loud-and-quiet motifs ':
,: throughout the album's twelve tracks, which offer up a patchwork :,
: quilt of sound, similar to Faust's IV or Fugazi's Red Medicine. :
:' ':
,: Jo Passed originally consisted of Jo and his friend and drummer :,
: Mac Lawrie. The two moved to Montreal together, and toured the :
:' far-right corner of North America. After JoÆs return to ':
,: Vancouver, multi-instrumentalist Bella Be┤be┤ joined the band in :,
: January of 2016, and multimedia artist Megan-Magdalena Bourne :
:' joined on bass, after working on a video for the song ôRageö ':
,: (from Jo PassedÆs 'Out' EP). :,
: :
:' Having worked with Bella, Mac, and Megan to create the live ':
,: experience of 'Their Prime', it's touring and hearing people's :,
: reactions to the album that are at the forefront of JoÆs mind. :
:' ôIt's like I've put all my negativity into a place and now I'm ':
,: lighting it on fire as a way of releasing it... by putting it :,
: out on Sub Pop, ha!ö Indeed, sometimes you have to banish the :
:' bad vibes to get to the great ones. ':
