Acid Youth returns Elephant Gait with a new EP, "Devil in Mr. Jones," marking the 10th, jubilee, release on the label.
Due to continued nightmare in the Middle East and the ongoing suffering of the Palestinian population, we have decided to donate all sales proceeds to The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's Fund. you can donate directly here: https://gascf.org/ or purchase the release.
Mr. Jones embodies the ego of modern man, greedy, cold-blooded, heartless, driven by an unyielding pursuit of personal well-being at any cost. To him, nothing else matters. He must get what he wants; stepping over people's heads, trampling their destinies, destroying this world if necessary. Once he does, there will always be another goal to strive for.
However, we remember: almost everything we accumulate, we take from someone else or from nature, often giving nothing in return. The world is full of this ego and it's time to rediscover what really matters.
"Devil in Mr. Jones" is a three-track EP: the title track is deeply rooted in EBM, "The Future" marches forward with an acid groove, and "Before The Sun Will Rise" takes you on a late-night psychedelic journey. The sound is shaped by iconic machines such as the Roland TB-303, Arp Odyssey, Roland TR-808, Roland CR-78, Syncussion, Moog DFAM, and Oberheim OB-XA, blending raw analog textures with hypnotic rhythms.
Everyone could face their own Mr. Jones at some point; the question is how to remain a human being.
