Jesus Jones

Jesus Jones formed in London in 1988 and quickly gained worldwide attention for their blend of noisy indie pop and sampling technology. Their first single Info Freako was a minor hit, and the subject of no small amount of press hype, but it was with their second album Doubt that the band really hit paydirt. Doubt sold two million copies worldwide, and the single Right Here Right Now topped the US charts. Third album Perverse saw the band move further into the realm of techno, being one of the first albums to be recorded completely digitally, but struggled to compete in a world obsessed with grunge and britpop. By the time of their fourth album Already, commercial success eluded them completely. After that, the band entered a period of stasis, briefly emerging to release London in 2001. In 2010, they found their mojo again and released The Collection, which gathered their career highlights along with a selection of demos and rarities. All four of their albums for Food/EMI were updated and reissued. The band’s lineup remains unchanged from its formation and they are set to release a new album Passages in early 2018.
