Jordan Blackmon creates a surreal slow dance with the poetically charmed "Family Crest"



















"I'm a TKO in search of a fight"

Los Angeles based (by way of Columbia, South Carolina) Jordan Blackmon is a singer-songwriter, musician and producer who after nearly 10 years on the road as a live guitarist for Toro y Moi is putting out solo material and the track Family Crest portends tasty future sounds. Distressed vocal melodies sway on squashed beats, dreamy electric orchestrations and poetically charmed lyrics creating a surreal slow dance.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:

Jordan Blackmon is a Columbia, SC-raised/Los Angeles, CA-based musician, producer and songwriter. After nearly a decade as the live guitarist for Toro y Moi (more on that here), he decided to hit the brakes on touring and shift his focus towards the studio.

His influences are eclectic, ranging everything from International Funk to Northern Soul to Harsh Noise to American Primitive - this helps him bring a unique perspective into all of his sessions.

Jordan Blackmon is signed to the Text Me Publishing team and is behind a wide-range of releases, co-writing Satica's "miss yr high" and Ponce De'leioun's "Take Flight". He also co-wrote Satica's "Fragile", which was featured in episode 4 of Tyler Perry's new show "Sistas".
