Five new tracks from Pocket (aka Burnside Project’s Richard Jankovich). The A-side, Backwards from Ten features Menomena’s Danny Seim, whose voice glides above a production that’s downright anthemic. In contrast, “Echo and Sway” is bouncy and jaunty, with unmistakable vocals from Sal Principato, of post-punk-funk legends Liquid Liquid.
Also includes three remixes of Backwards from Ten from Grant B, Duplex 100 & Learning Music. This is POCKET's 7th release for his Singles Project featuring a "Dream List" of legendary vocalists to collaborate with.
2 separate singles, each acting as the others B-Side!
Craig Wedren (Shudder To Think) and Dave Smalley(Dag Nasty, Down By Law) both have connections to DC’s hardcore scene and Dischord Records, so it seems like a fun idea to release them together! POCKET used pieces of the same Satoshi artwork for the covers so if you hold them together, you get the complete picture. Videos for both songs will be released in conjunction with the singles.
POCKET, aka Richard Jankovich, fronted electro pop group Burnside Project whose “Cue The Pulse To Begin” was the title theme of Showtime’s Queer As Folk.
He has remixed Radiohead, Beck, Joanna Newsom, Of Montreal, Kristen Hersh, Antony & The Johnsons, Asher Roth and many more.
