Download: Jape - “The Oldest Mind”

Slowed and subtle, the first track to come from Jape’s new record Ocean Of Frequency (released on music/is/for/losers on September 30) “The Oldest Mind” is what we’d imagine to happen if you cherry-picked the best of the aughts’ tropicalia and neu-Balearic beat tunes and stuttered them alongside a ragged copy of your favorite mid-1980s New Romantic gem album. Or, at least we’d like to say that the sense of glee and glory and euphoria from the song—which can’t seem to stop building until it finally breaks—is something you won’t soon find anywhere else. The Dublin act are already well into their DIY career with EPs and albums under the earnest belts in their native land, and while principal Richie Egan isn’t quite sure really whether the suit fits as a songwriter of electronic-leaning pop music or as something else, we’re pretty sure that with songs like “The Oldest Mind”, you’ll be hearing much more about them Stateside.

Godspeed!
