Song Of The Day: Xander Harris, “Jaws Of Saturn”

We fell in love with Xander Harris‘ album California Chrome, and thanks to his prolificness, we didn’t have to wait too long for a new album.  Termination Dust, his latest mini-album, will be released on April 30th, and when we first heard the opening track, “Jaws of Saturn,” we figured we were not likely to be disappointed. And having heard the rest of the record, we most definitely weren’t. The EBM and post-punk vibe is still there, but he’s going for a heavier, darker, European ambient style sound on much of the record, and we really love the Goblin/Tangerine Dream-esque nature of it all.

    […] I received word this evening that my good friend Justin Sweatt, who records gorgeous synth-driven ambient, electronica, and EBM– Inspired music as Xander Harris, was injured in a serious accident today in New Orleans. I have known Justin for over 20 years, having met him when I worked at a record store and in a club in Lubbock, Texas. We hit it off, enjoying conversations about record collecting, indie rock, and anything else that suited our fancy.

I was ecstatic to learn a few years ago that he was making music again, and making a name for himself through releasing quality records. In fact, we named his 2016 album California Chrome as one of our albums of note for the year––an award we still stand by, as it is a fantastic record. We were also fans of his follow-up album, 2017’s Termination Dust. […]
