But as a detectable melody comes into play, the song begins to transform itself until it slows to an absolute drawl.Īnd then. Even as it gets weirder and weirder, you can’t help but be mesmerized by the progression, like watching two people fight in a convenience store over the last Twinkie on the shelf, wondering what’s going to happen next. The way that it continually builds upon itself until it collapses under its own weight and leads back to the original melody is textbook songwriting, but Feed Me does it in a way that feels so fresh and exciting that the basic becomes the extraordinary.Īfter that comes the one and only single, “Reckless,” and then the bewildering “Cost a Fiver Had a Tenner.” After the first three tracks, this one really comes out of nowhere with its off-kilter rhythm and heavy distortion. Distorted guitar licks fed through what can only be so many amps and effects pedals gives way to a pulsating beat that is underscored by a harrowing, noisy synth line and followed up by a tantalizing melody. “Blanket Ban” doubles down on this gritty Feed Me style that he does so well with a punk-goes-EDM energy that is absolutely electrifying. No doubt this will be the song that you show your friends in the car when they hand you the aux and say, “Play me something new.” But you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you stopped at just the first explosive song, or even just the first half of the first song. Lightly modulated with added noise so that when the big drop comes, and you can feel in you bones that it will be big, it erupts into the real beginning of Feed Me with a, “Alright, check this.” The first forty or so seconds are as in-your-face, here-it-comes, you-aren’t-ready-for-this as it gets, and it only gets better as an “Imperial March”-esque melody comes into play. “Big Kitten” begins with guttural bass, suspenseful synth and strings, and thunderous kicks. And from the very first track, it’s clear that Feed Me has a story to tell. In fact, his third and most recent album, out today, the self-titled Feed Me, is his most ambitious and best work to date.įans received the one and only single, “Reckless” with favorite collaborator Tasha Baxter, earlier this week before the album simply sprang upon us. When he released Feed Me’s Big Adventure in 2011, fans were immediately enamored by the little green alien who would be the mascot for the project as well as the innovative and engaging music he produced.įast forward ten years, and Feed Me has released another more album, five or so EPs, and countless singles among then-and-again appearances as Spor on lineups, and he’s not even close to done yet. After transitioning from drum & bass as Spor, Gooch, or more commonly known as his present stage name, Feed Me, experienced blistering acclaim for his high energy mix of electro house and dubstep. Jonathan Gooch has never been one to worry about the status quo.
