Channels

Aside from being one hell of a gifted songwriter, J. Robbins of Gov't Issue, Jawbox and Burning Airlines has spent the last few years amassing an Albini-esque roster of quality production work. But Robbins could only remain behind the board for so long and is back at it with his new band Channels which includes his wife Janet Morgan on bass and Darren Zentek, former drummer of Kerosene 454. This is a track that will be featured on Channels forthcoming Open EP on Desoto Records the label run by Kim and Bill of Jawbox which has released some fantastic records from Juno, Shiner, Dismemberment Plan and most recently Maritime. "Storytime" has the familiar timbre and pace of vintage Jawbox with an optimism that has touched Robbins in the time since that great band's demise.
