Jodis: Black Curtain (Hydra Head, 10/2/12)
Three years ago, Aaron Turner of Isis (and many, many other bands) and James Plotkin and Tim Wyskida of Khanate (and many, many other bands) formed a haunting, melodic, ambient project called Jodis.
Each already had quite a résumé for elongated, swirling, textured pieces, particularly of the dark variety, whether from projects like Old Man Gloom, House of Low Culture, or solo material. Jodis was different, though, and now the three experimentalists are issuing a second album together with a renewed focus on slow-building melody.
Today you can hear Black Curtain in its entirety, one week ahead of schedule. Sadly, it’s one of the final new releases for Hydra Head, whose nearly 20 years have set the bar for quality among underground hardcore and experimental albums. Pre-order the hell out of this so we can attempt to pull off a financial resurrection.

Imagine if this shit sold a million records and single handedly saved Hyrda Head.
So good
so if you guys sell enough of this record it might keep hydrahead going? O_O
Reform Isis and release all material through HH. You guys will be golden then. Please reform Isis. Please.
Both haunting and beautiful.. Jodis!
Supporting HH is easy when albums like this are released..stop stealing and start buyin’.
i just listened to the free streaming mp3s on that page of the title track to whoever Jodis is, next album. damn, no wonder hydra head is in trouble, theyre producing albums like this one!
Like floating in the darkness of space on an emotion. Epic.
How amazing is this??? Love
Takes you back to some fundamentals: vibrations at the core of being.
You’re opinion, I think its awesome.. one of many on the HH roster
Sounds Great!
Direct all wealthy benefactors to Hydra Head, attn: Aaron Turner.
I see that the Song “Silent Temple” in the pre order page has lyrics ;.
can I get the full albums lyrics when I order the whole digital album?
Robbie Mcd Go listen to the crap they have on the radio then. Its what your suited for anyway.
Bravo fellas! I absolutely Love it. Cannot wait till it comes in the mail! I hope this one does well and gets you back on your feet. You have been a cornerstone of musical direction for years and it would be a tragedy to lose you Aaron and Hyda Head.
how bout you fuckin relax i dont listen to the radio you judgemental ignoramus. and i was suited for a wedding. jeez, ppl like you who contribute to the lower rungs of the ladder in society. dillinger escape plan (original line up) would run circles around these guys
Zarathustra Dedgod also noticed theres no job title beside your name, how bout you get your resume together and head out and maybe pay for the tattoos you have without your mommys money.
Robbie you’re totally missing the point..Love it or hate it, Jodis isnt in any competition. Dillinger and Jodis is like apples and oranges.. bad bad argument
from what I hear, this album will be hard to top for my top albums of the year
Robbie Mcd you are one big fucking idiot.
Robbie Mcd “producing albums like this one “? Just how did you stumble on this page then – and where exactly do you think you are ?? Sir, your misunderstanding of the whole concept of Hydra Head and “records like this” is insulting to many. I have no comment on the rest of your comments …..
I have to agree with Alchemy Asso. Well said, good sir. If only I had the ability to put it into words like you do.
fuck dillinger escape plan
hey hey be nice now..
