Comments: Because this is worth the word count: "[Jes] is for the experimentalists. The dreamers. If music is your escape vehicle of choice, then Jes is your Ryan Gosling. It is your driver." 2011 movie references aside, Memphis-based electropop group Fast Planet has done a smashing job of creating sounds that could have come from a Thom Yorke release. Jes is definitely driving through an unknown realm of electronica, and its dynamic sound will keep you enthused throughout the 9-track work. If you're just wanting a sample of the sound, though, try tracks 2, 3 and 8.
