(Listen to “Beyondce” by Javelin off of their 2 EP)

JAVELIN.


 Javelin seem to have a knack for designating tracks with parodied names of celebrities. After “Lindsay Brohan”, off of their 2009 release Jamz n Jemz, they are back this time with a track titled “Beyondce” off of their 12” limited release EP 2. Possibly taking notes from the aforementioned R&B queen, the track starts off with a choppy R&B-laden rhythm with high-pitched, cheesy synth stabs and vocal swells. As the song progresses, the old-school vibe, characteristic of many of Javelin’s tracks becomes apparent. While not as production heavy as many of the songs on their two full LPs released, “Beyondce” still takes its spot as one of their most head-nodding and crowd pleasing tracks.

While cranking out 2 EPs and 2 LPs, the duo still finds enough time to produce remixes to add to their growing resume. Their latest, a remix of HEALTH’s In Heat off of their second album Get Color, leaves the aggression and intensity of the original at the door, and gives it a playful and upbeat mood. The track starts off of with an Indeep vocal sample, which paves the way for the stuttering bright synths and driving bassline. The hook is inviting, and once you are immersed into the song, it ends; leaving you reminiscent of summers long gone and hitting the back button on your mp3 player for a repeat listen.

About

The Lightning Collective is a promotional music blog hellbent on opening the eyes and ears to music and the arts. Created out of the necessity of two college kids looking to stir up some trouble in a vacuous wasteland, the organization aims to build a community for creativity and culture where freethinking and inspiration is hard to come by. Originally based in State College, PA where the duo formerly hosted a radio show Friday nights on the LION 90.7FM, the student radio station at the Pennsylvania State University. Both are now apart working closely together bringing new music, interviews, and music related news.
