I’d never even heard of Jackson and His Computer Band, until today. His track ‘Dead Living Things’ has now dragged itself, at least 10 times, bleeding, through the gravel of my mind. I am in LOVE. The French producer – effortless amalgamator of 80s-inspired sounds and violent techno – last year released his first album […]
