Jatun - Jatun
- A futuristic type album, Jatun’s self-titled record is filled with songs that summon a variety of emotions, many of which lean on the spooky side.
“Ghost and Gray” is a track that consists of screeching and not much else. Not the best pick to open the album as listeners might get turned off to the vehement and unyielding squealing that goes on through the whole track. It's akin to fingernails being raked across a chalkboard.
That track is followed by its sequel, aptly titled, “Ghost and Gray 2.” This track echoes its instruments, which consist of drums and a synthesizer that gives the song an unsettling vibe. It could be the background music for a flashback in a horror movie where the audience relives a grisly murder and the circumstances that led to it.
“Ion Crush (remix)” continues the desolate feeling with more synthesizer work, but with a more perplexing bend. This song is just the one to be heard in a show like the Ghost Whisperer, where an apparition surfaces from a dense fog to reveal his or her intentions.
On a song entitled “Zombie Hotel,” one would think it would be the scariest sounding track on the album, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. This song is sexy, hot-tempered and perfect to be in a dance movie where the performers exhibit their powerful romantic number, all the while with hips brushing against each other and plenty of heat being generated.
”Voila and the Case” quickly reverts back to the unworldly feeling that looms over the record. Its intense beats could make listeners picture hearing this song in the background, as a person on a thriller is walking into a cemetery, where something or someone evil is about to strike without warning.
Jatun’s self-titled album has songs that are ideal to play at your next All Hallow’s Eve bash, but with some rarities that are surprisingly easy to strut to, and have a salacious side that one wouldn’t expect on such a visibly dark sounding album.
