John & Jehn

Last month I held a couple of contests where I gave away tickets to see CYHSY's New Year's show. For the second giveaway I asked people to "tell me ONE 'less well-known' band or artist on MySpace (or anywhere else) EAR FARM should check out". There was a ton of response to this contest and I'm just now getting to really listen to some of the stuff you guys suggested. This band is the first from the lot.

Jonathan sent an email and said:
"Hailing from Poitiers, France, this duo has the heart and grit of a calamitous colision between Mates of State, Arcade Fire, and Brigitte Fontaine. This is the kind of thing you want to be listening to when you're trying to dodge and burn, sew buttons, or make a delicious omelette..."

I happen to agree and I really like what I'm hearing in their songs. Why should I even bother trying to tell you any more about them other than take my word for it and check them out?

Have a listen:
"20L07"
"Lovin' Dead"
"Today"

There's another song and some more info about them on John & Jehn's MySpace page.
