PRAISE BE JESU! WHY ARE WE NOT PERFECT? COMES OUT TODAY!

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008 at 11:24am by

Three things you can never have too much of: weed, blowjobs, and Justin K. Broadrick albums.

So even though Broadrick has already done some beyond-excellent work this year (check out my review of his collaboration with The Swans’ Jarboe here), you should still be going out your way to buy the newly released EP from Jesu, Why Are We Not Perfect? (Watch a fan-made video for the title track above).

There’s only five songs here – actually, three songs and two “alternative versions” of two of those three songs – but it’s the usual shoegazey goodness from Jesu. Densely layered and incredibly melancholy in tone, this shit isn’t really heavy in the aural sense (I actually find it incredibly relaxing to listen to – Broadrick shares MetalSucks’ love of Mary Jane, after all), but it’s sure as fuck heavy in the emotional sense.

Learn more about all things Broadrick at his blog.

This public service announcement brought to you by the Committee for More Weed, Blowjobs and Justin K. Broadrick Albums.

    The split with Battle Of Mice that came out last week has some pretty tasty shit on it too. Who would’ve thought that the man behind Godflesh could make something as pretty as Jesu?

    it’s so rare these days that an artist can be as consistently innovative as justin broadrick as over the course of the last 20 plus years. From being one of the founding members of Napalm Death to Godflesh and continuing on with Jesu.

    Does anyone actually have this in stock yet? Amazon doesn’t and even Hydra Head isn’t showing it in their online store. What gives?

    “Falling From Grace” from that Battle of Mice split is gorgeous.

    This actually isnt a new EP per se. It is a CD release of a split he/they did with Eluvium for TRL months ago, with 2 remixed jawns

    Man, I didn’t know Battle of Mice released a split with Jesu.

    I can’t decide whether I like Jesu. Some songs I really like, but others not so much…

    I prefered his split with Envy instead.
