New EP: JPW & Dad Weed || Two Against Nurture
Phoenix-based singer-songwriters (and longtime friends) Jason P. Woodbury aka JPW and Zach Toporek aka Dad Weed have joined forces, and the synergistic effect is inviting. The three tracks on their Two Against Nurture EP embrace sunny psych pop with a dark folk edge. A two-sided tension is reflected on all levels, including in the lyrics, such as “Well everybody’s talking about moving away // You think you’ll be sticking around” (from Everybody’s Talking (Again)) and “Sun tan lotion // Wearing mirrored skin // You’ve arrived here // Just in time for the end” (from Big Wave). Musically you’ll also hear a clash of styles and preferences, resulting in a rich and surprising orchestration that sounds experimental at times, but is always captivating.
Two Against Nurture, written and produced by Jason P. Woodbury and Zach Toporek, is out digitally via Fort Lowell Records.
