''One of the most notable acts to emerge this year: (They) have the incredible ability to create music that makes you happy.'' - LA Times.
Javelin throw a party that sees nothing wrong with dropping crooked disco (''On It On It''), schoolyard funk (''Intervales Theme''), abstract R&B (''Dep'') and pitch-perfect pop (''Mossy Woodland'') in the same set.

''One of the most notable acts to emerge this year: (They) have the incredible ability to create music that makes you happy.'' - LA Times.
Javelin throw a party that sees nothing wrong with dropping crooked disco (''On It On It''), schoolyard funk (''Intervales Theme''), abstract R&B (''Dep'') and pitch-perfect pop (''Mossy Woodland'') in the same set. At least that's the way things unfold on Javelin's debut album, No Mas, the eagerly-awaited follow-up to a self-released collection of demos (Jamz n Jemz) and a pair of limited Thrill Jockey 12-inches (Javelin, Number Two). It's as if Javelin were programmed to reproduce the golden age of every genre known to man, bouncing between samplers and strings, drum machines and drum sets, and a growing collection of guitars, horns and homemade thumb pianos. You read that right: Most of No Mas' dusty 45 moments aren't lifted from actual record crates. They're painstakingly recreated, note by note, from the jukebox in Javelin's collective mind. So if you're trying to 'figure Javelin out', don't bother.
