Madrid’s Jus Kno’ Release Debut Studio Album, ‘Looped Circles’

Following the release of two striking singles, Madrid’s experimental live electronic act Jus Kno’ celebrate the release of their debut studio album ‘Looped Circles’.  Exploring innovative electronic elements over the 9-cut body of work, the album represents the culmination of years of practice honing their craft. Comprised of sounds hailing across IDM, house and techno, the album transcends genres while boasting a signature sound that is quintessentially Jus Kno’.  The album is available on all streaming platforms via independent Spanish label Faneca Music and marks a major milestone in the Madrid based act’s careers.

With ‘Looped Circles’ ultimate unveiling being preceded by two striking singles, the title track and “Time Will Come”, the coupling set the stage for the album’s remaining 7 unreleased tracks. Opening with a sultry, brooding five minute “Intro” peppered with breakbeat percussion, piano and bass the track paves way for “Winden” – a strong, synth-lead, high energy cut shifting basslines from 4/4 to Drum N’ Bass. “Winden” in particular is a track brimming in variety that showcases Jus Kno’s diverse skillset.

“Hole” comes in two parts, opening with eclectic arpeggio, romantic, driving and deep in nature built upon a solid house infrastructure. “Hole II” creates contrast from its compliment, featuring a lengthy build of melody and pizzicato of over three minutes, the impending relentless techno drop drives the two part “Hole” and “Hole II” series to its’ closure. “New Normal” incorporates organic instrumentals through its introduction paving way for strong synth lead – creating continuity through its duration with melodic guitar throughout, following the theme of shifting percussive styles the track features live drumming across its six and a half minute running time.

Slowing the pace just past the halfway point, “A Place For Us” encapsulates an aura of melancholy and yearning; home to sultry chord progressions and slower tempos.  The final piece of unreleased material, “Contact” is slow, steady, and ethereal and followed by the two previously released singles “Time Will Come” and “Looped Circles” that bring Jus Kno’s first full body of work to its ultimate close.
