Last year’s Jes, the debut album from Memphis live electronic band Fast Planet set them up as ones to keep an eye on. While they were working on the followup, the band came up with a lot of material and ideas that don’t fit their album theme so they’re releasing them in advance instead.
‘Mr. Conversation’ is one such track, a cross between Postal Service electronic-pop When Saints Go Machine-style atmospherics. It bodes well for whatever else is coming from them in 2013. A free download too. - Nialler
Jes is a record permissible of an emotional healing. Each of the nine glorious tracks contain sedated electronic melodies and a honest, charismatic voice. The music is pieced together by gentle spaces and harmonies, all balanced to a satisfactory ambiance. It's the same kind of sensation as your open palms slowly swishing through water on a hot summer day. You won't grow tired from Fast Planet because each beat refreshes and tingles your senses intimately and physically, like your hands in ice cool water, you want to keep your body in an open comfortable place. Dive into Jes below. - Earmilk

“The first such release comes to us in the form of the standalone single “Mr. Conversation”. Here, the band downplay some of their sparser, more wide-open tendencies, crafting a downtempo groove of rumbling drums, interstellar synths, and whiserpy vocals. The slight shift in approach definitely suits the band, who manage to balance a sense of sensual intimacy with an undercurrent of profound immediacy and impact.”

“This album is for the experimentalists. The dreamers. If music is your escape vehicle of choice, then Jes is your Ryan Gosling. It is your driver.”
