By IronJedi,
Jet Velvet is the "vanity project" for well-known (at least in music circles) singers/songwriters Paul Dexter and Matt Bissonette. While not billed as an overtly Christian album, the lyrics offer deeper layers of meaning evident to those with the perspicacity to detect them. The Orange County collaborators do a great job of addressing everyday issues with an lyrical authenticity, yet keep the music subtly whimsical.
Obviously influenced by musical icons such as the Beatles, the Police and Radiohead, Bissonette & Dexter nevertheless demonstrate their own obvious, yet unique mastery of songcraft with the songs of Jet Velvet. Fans of the late,lamented Dakota Motor Co. & PFR, as well as Jars of Clay, Leeland and Phil Wickham will find a breath of fresh, So. Cal. air with this release.
