Jesu - Silver


Tracks:
1. Silver
2. Star
3. Wolves
4. Dead Eyes

Jesu is the current project of Justin Broadrick, formerly of Godflesh and Napalm Death. Don't let that cloud your eyes, though, Jesu is not like his former projects. While he incorporates heavy guitar, Jesu is a beautiful mix of ambiance, post-metal, drone, shoegaze, and downtempo. It's a hard project to group anywhere, thus the laundry-list of genre names.
This is the Silver ep, a personal favorite of mine. There is a Japanese version out there somewhere with two extra tracks (alternative versions of Silver and Wolves), but this is all you really need to experience what Jesu is. I'll probably post more Jesu at a later time, but enjoy.
