The aussie beat monger, Jonti returns to offer up a free album of some early demos and unreleased tracks. For you unfamiliar with Jonti, he was part of the group Danimals, an Australian band that did a track with Mark Ronson. Definitely quite a nice thing to add to a musical resume. Jonti is his solo project that showcases what happens when psychedlic pop songwriting intersects with a head bopping beat aesthetic. “Sine & Moon” remind me of the Bullion “Pet Sounds in the Key of Dee” album that came out a few years ago. I like to think that, Jonti is to Stones Throw Records as Bibio is to Warp Records.

“People liked the songs on the Sine And Moon podcast, so I wanted to get them out for free. So I turned it into an album with extra’s, new mixes and original Jeff Jank Artwork. I really love these songs and I hope you enjoy!” – Jonti

Danimals are a lucky Australian band that were winners handpicked by Mark Ronson himself for The Lab an initiative set up by Australia’s own Tooheys Extra Dry. With the help of Mark Ronson taking the production reigns, Danimals were able to craft and capture a 60s pop psychedelic sound that evokes The Kinks, The Beach Boys, and the Zombies to name a few. This tune is a project that tapped into all the star studded resources they could. Just take a look at the credits. Sean Lennon even stopped by to lend his ear to the project. What an exciting opportunity for this band – goes to show you what having a team behind you with resources can yield.
