JEFF is the band project of brothers Jake and Jamin Orrall, sons of music veteran Robert Ellis Orrall. Read what the Village Voice-owned Nashville Scene has to say about the debut album from JEFF: "These recordings sound less like dilettantish DIY messarounds than steps in the progression of daunting, omnivorous talents. That much is clear from JEFF, a remarkable album-length CD Jake and Jamin recorded with their dad. He was quickly demoted from producer to engineer after the usual creative differences. "I thought my 25 years of writing and producing would count for something," Orrall says, "but after an hour of arguing I just had to walk away and lie down." Any familial tensions are absent from the finished product, a mix of jangly math-rock, catchily erratic beats, nonsense lyrics a la the brothers' hero Beck, and expertly deployed white-noise bursts and synth blurts. The JEFF record "hit me real hard," says producer Gary Burnette (Mammoth Records'John Wesley Harding, Columbia's Rose Falcon). "They have figured out a way to organize noise music so it becomes accessible, without writing just boy-girl songs. There's a real maturity- they know exactly how long to keep doing something before it gets too boring." Burnette compares JEFF to Sonic Youth, "Talking Heads 77" and the sonic improvisation of Sonny Sharrock and Ornette Coleman. Read the entire article by Jim Ridley at nashvillescene.com.
