'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.
