Lo Jac http://www.amplifier.co.nz/amp/view?item_id=7826
Lo Jac are Auckland twosome Tom Everett and Willie Tracey. They remind of early Tricky with echoes of guitarist Bill
Frisell on this very confident debut. It's a slow grooving affair that pours from the speakers in a fully realized
vision. Lo Jac are not afraid to take their time and should be respected for that.
