Jonathan Meek is not timid about his new self-released EP, Irony & Pity. “I want this to be something awesome and real and different,” he says. The record, like Jonathan himself, is all of those things and more.
Irony & Pity is completely DIY: recorded and mixed in the local church where Jonathan’s dad preaches. It’s credited to Jonathan Meek & the Mutes, but nearly every note recorded was performed by Jonathan himself. His brother, Nathaniel Meek, lent his talents as a drummer for two of the five tracks, and Mike Mittelstedt, Jonathan’s fellow band member in the San Francisco group the Fair Saints, engineered and co-produced. “Having [Mike] there engineering and giving me feedback gave me such enormous freedom and confidence, so that a lot of the record could just fall into place. Most of what you hear was written right there during the session.” The energy and the feel of the music make it hard for the listener to believe that only three people were involved in producing it; and clearly the inspirations for the record are literally countless.
"Violent while orderly, a hurricane of metaphor and noise neatly arranged. Bloody, succinct bursts of image with detailed, literate lyrics, sung with a sweet, near-effortless tenor cloaked in mystery, like a murder ballad sung by a choir boy with a veiled past."
Forceful, emotional, dynamic song with intelligent lyrics and a passionate vocal line. The music is steady and strong with bursts of chaos and energy.,
