Track "8mmsweetbitter" is one of the more accessible selections from "J2" (pronounced "joul"), the union of former Swans keyboardist/vocalist and experimental singer Jarboe and Godflesh/Jesu alumnus Justin K. Broadrick. The instrumental relies on piano, scratchy drum programming, bare synths and Jarboe's wordless callings with a repetitive eight-count measure to imprint the listener's brain. An electronica loop is too lively to be chill-out and too soothing to be a club banger. Its appeal lies in its ambiguity; "8mmsweetbitter" could nudge the party into fruition or wind it down, depending on the crowd's whim. Best absorbed with a cocktail in hand and a night of possibilities ahead. —Christa L. Titus
