about

Despite the days and hours all but losing their meaning, new rhythms emerge onto which we can grasp. A duo providing us with respite this year is Sydney’s jobfit.

With the intention of marrying two practices to find a sincere intersection of spoken word and electronic music we welcome jobfit to Pure Space Recordings with their release ‘Corner Sure’. An expansive 21 minute piece of poetically punctuated jungle.

Through the release spoken word becomes entangled with jungle-tinged rhythms, eluding to a playfulness while rubbing up against traditional poetic structures. Within this playfulness is an undeniable sense of discipline and restraint in their composition.

The first half of the release toys with you, building tension with drones and repetition. The melodies swirl and entwine themselves with the spoken word, enveloping you completely before retreating and leaving you in a raw moment. Halfway through the drones give way and you are swallowed by a challenging jungle rhythm. Tension continues to build before finally, the release gives you the space to breathe, take note and pay attention.

The constant reference to water within the piece and sampling of domestic environments allows an atmosphere in which jobfit reconfigure traditional musical and poetic structures.

jobfit have created a listening experience which plays with levels of control, at times it feels as though you’ve lost your grip before they guide you back to familiar ground. There is a constant flux between serious and playful tones, often dipping in and out of dramatic rhythms, cheeky pads or gentle words. jobfit have expertly created their own interpretation of home listening reminding us all that the ‘hardest’ music we listen to is often at home.

In accompaniment to this release, Craig Stubbs-Race has created a visualiser responding to the themes and ideas within the release. Craig is a 3D designer/artist with a passion for typography, experimental shapes, and communicating succinct messages through motion. With a background in film-making, his work is inspired by a range of text-based graphics including interactive digital art, book covers, band posters and East Asian signage.
