Description: “Influenced by an expansive range of artists, genres and styles, Alan and Scott have learned to interpret and appreciate sound from a broad perspective. Such open ears have facilitated an understanding of sonic interplay, and acute attention to arrangement and detail. Armed to the teeth with an arsenal of quality, vintage gear and a penchant for capturing the resultant noises, they craft music thoroughly and thoughtfully. Lush, enveloping and hyper-textured, Jatun’s songs blanket themselves around your ears and saturate your head with warm and intoxicating, Orange-tinged tones.”

Blanket of Ash - Other Electricities
Format: Limited Edition 12” Vinyl & Digital
Release Date: March.09.2010
Release Type: Full Length

Description: “When Jatun’s eponymous debut dropped in 2007, dream-pop enthusiasts and headphone purists alike were astounded by its thoughtfully detailed songs and meticulous textures. Subtle, distinct variations embedded in teeming walls of sound egged them on for a louder-than-loud listen. And there was just no denying the nuanced cycles of swarming and disintegrating buzz; conduits for robot melodies. However, there’s always room for more depth and texture. With Blanket of Ash, Jatun offers up another dose of clandestine vocals, heavy layers and unmistakable intensity: A vinyl-only collection of metallic drone and spacejunk beats for the truly frequency-dependent.”

Temporary Expedient: Improv Series Vol. 1. - Other Electricities
Format: Digital
Release Date: March.08.2011
Release Type: Full Length
Link: http://www.other-electricities.com/OE028
Description: “Conceived surrounding their Blanket of Ash live practice sessions, Temporary Expedient is not your typical Jatun album. It’s a departure from their angular, studio-based approach of layering washed-out guitars and synth beats over signature ghost-like vocals. Instead, amorphous improvisation replaces calculated programming and multi-tracking. Each monthly piece captures sounds melding in the moment, relying solely on acoustics and incidentals. With the melodies stripped away, Jatun’s underlying elements of drone, field recording, frayed electronics and distorted dirge are displayed in a different light.”
