"Javelin throw a party that sees nothing wrong with dropping crooked disco ('On It On It'), schoolyard funk ('Intervales Theme'), abstract R&B ('Dep') and pitch-perfect pop ('Mossy Woodland') in the same set. At least that's the way things unfold on Javelin's debut album,
No Más
, the eagerly-awaited follow-up to a self-released collection of demos (
Jamz n Jemz
) and a pair of limited Thrill Jockey 12-inches (
Javelin
,
Number Two
). It's as if Javelin were programmed to reproduce the golden age of every genre known to man, bouncing between samplers and strings, drum machines and drum sets, and a growing collection of guitars, horns and homemade thumb pianos. You read that right: Most of
No Más'
dusty 45 moments aren't lifted from actual record crates. They're painstakingly recreated, note by note, from the jukebox in Javelin's collective mind. So if you're trying to 'figure Javelin out', don't bother."

THR 012.37EP
"Javelin consists of two cousins, Tom Van Buskirk and George Langford. When not performing, Javelin is busy producing. Together they have amassed a vast catalogue of music, varying in its aesthetic range. Songs resemble the record collection from whence they spring, if not literally as when sampling, then figuratively as when past forms are cited and re-contextualized. Sounds range from broken dance jams to relaxed instrumental cut-ups, created with love on their MPCs. Long forgotten samples are chopped and re-assembled with drums, wooden recorders, old keyboards, handmade thumb pianos or whatever instruments are readily at hand. The result is a kind of mix tape fantasy (residing in the mythical 'dollar bins of the future'), where R & B impresarios, amateur booty bass producers and Andean flautists hold equal sway." Each copy comes in a unique, hand-made sleeve.
