land of the lost



J*Davey - Land of the Lost Mixtape.mp3

Not new to the scene, The duo of singer Jack Davey and soundboard wiz and Prince scholar Brook D'Leau fuse together an invigorating mix of what they like to describe as "genre X," a blend of electronica, rock, hip hop, jazz, pop and disco.

Los Angeles-based Jack and Brook met in high school through a mutual friend and they quickly discovered they had similar taste in music. Jack is mostly influenced by classic jazz and late '70s fusion, while Brook has an interest in sounds from the '80s like Prince, Talking Heads and the Police.

The group was signed to the rock division of Warner earlier this year, which will help them not to be molded into another hip hop-oriented clone. J*Davey is currently working on their debut that is scheduled to be in stores in 2008

The group put out a mixtape of some of their demos compiled by DJ Lindsey to start a grassroots buzz for the band. This mixtape is in addition to other tracks and albums that have been floating around the net
