EX-JUNCOS

Alongside their fuzz-gazey songs, ExJ has a place in the experimental/improv world. Their freeform pieces, like Eulogy for Clint Hill and The Bernese Sell, see drummer Andrew Lau moving over to guitar, in spontaneous sonic exploration with partner Jill Rogers, using feedback, overtones, and percussion. In these sessions, traditional song structure gives way to instinct and atmosphere, creating dense, unpredictable soundscapes that emphasize texture, spatial dynamics, and the visceral interaction between players, pushing the boundaries of their songwriting into pure, immediate expression.
