The surviving skeleton, which now includes saxophone and a sampler, finds its strength between enigmatic and varied vocal delivery, inspired, frantic, and enduring percussion, inventive and unconventional bass lines, and beautiful, contorted saxophone licks, all being tied together by the ambient punishment of Toni’s sampler/synthesizer setup. For their second album, the Johnny Falloon project returns with Esoterrorism, a record infused with personal experience, fear, magic, and sweat. Singer and lyricist, John Edmonson, describes the record as “hovering in a space between beauty, pain, meat, and the body’s relation to a growing digital world”.

The band’s sound grounds itself in the pulse of post-punk, but stretches into a more abrasive, noisier territor
