Music, like every other art form, will always require saving from itself.

As genres grow old and famous artists become spent, the standard becomes ripe for a change. In poetry, Ezra Pound called this the need for writers to ‘make it new’. In rock terms, this translates to coming along with your brash new band and blasting the turkeys right out of the water. The point is not to join the old groups in the musical stratosphere. The point is to steal their good stuff, ditch their bad stuff, rewrite the rules, then beat them silly.

Friends, JJ72 may just have achieved that aim. Enter the maelstrom of I To Sky and you will hear the joyous sound of three musicians happening upon great musical moments, expressing them passionately and exuberantly, and then casting them aside to alight upon new gems.
