JOHN
A Life Diagrammatic
BRACE YOURSELF
Sometimes you just need a right good mallet whallop to the cranium and who better to deliver that vicious blow than local brutality peddlers, John? They've long been firm shop favourites but this has cemented their status as shop legends.
Stick this on when naught but sheer hench bedlam will suffice. a record that harnesses the punch and intensity of their blistering live shows with the band’s increasingly textural, cinematic and expressive sensibilities. “We knew the direction we wanted to go in after the last record,” Healey says of 'Nocturnal Manoeuvres'. “We had started moving towards soundscapes rather than straight-up noise and four to the floor structure.” The level of thought, ambition and scope is what makes JOHN such a captivating and genre-defying band, and 'A Life Diagrammatic' such a rich and evocative listening experience. And the album artwork is perhaps a perfect metaphor for the band itself: a surface level glance may only reveal the basic function of an ostensible two-piece rock band but undertake a full service and you’ll discover a wealth of complexity, technicality, skill and function. Or quite simply, as Healey himself says, “we're not just a rock band. There's more to it than that.”
