jh0st talks: sun*load darkstars EP
In 2017, I connected with sun*load mastermind Jeremy Markowitz over oceans and time to create the darkstars EP. Although we walked the same halls of our high school listening to much of the same music, it wasn’t until 30 years had passed that we would have the chance to (virtually) sit down and create some tunes. The result is a powerful concoction of sounds that blend the goth and ambient influences from our youth with jazz and post-rock from our present day projects.
darkstars is a 4-song post-rock EP released in October 2017
