Jinzo is a brand new Queens-based trio who combine post-punk misanthropy with egg punk's furious tempos, a dash of math rock frenzy, and a heavy dollop of free improvisation. Drawing on influences such as Slint, Deerhoof, and Palm, the band channels a sound that is rhythmically enmeshed with its core instability, generating the feeling the song may fall apart at any moment. Guitarist Sean Saville's background in jazz fusion and math rock ensures an attention to detail alongside a trapeze act-style attitude towards theatrical, daring playing. Andy Stone keeps pace at every step, coordinating his drums with Saville's guitar aplomb as if the two are interlocked in a red hot dance. Bassist/vocalist Jordan Germ's deadpan delivery weaves tawdry tales of reality TV binges and pro-wrestling nightmares against this uncanny backdrop, constantly implying that these petty indulgences take place against the backdrop of a much harsher and less forgiving reality. The combined effect the musicians achieve together creates an atmosphere of dread that nevertheless makes one want to pogo around the room. Vitality and energy are the two distinguishing features that make this band stand out against the sea of like-minded acts in their scene.
