Search - Jolly :: Forty Six Minutes, Twelve Seconds of Music

JOLLY is an alternative rock band from New York City, composed of Anadale (guitar, vocals), Mike Rudin (bass), Joe Reilly (keyboard, backing vocals), and Louis Abramson (drums). The band s primary goal is to create unbelievable music that will intrigue the most avid listener without compromising accessibility.

Some of JOLLY s influences include Depeche Mode, Radiohead, Mike Patton, Muse, Meshuggah, Tool, and Type O Negative. With a wide range of musical influences, JOLLY has managed to create a sound that is both original and attainable. This is proven on their debut recording, The Revolutionary Cult Demo Finally Hits the US, which was released in September 2008. The three song demo showcases the vision that JOLLY has set out to achieve. Layers of thick instrumentation are melded with heavy grooves, catchy melodies, and ambient soundscapes, producing an unsettling and beautiful atmosphere. It successfully displays the band's ability to create dynamic tones, texture, and sounds.

JOLLY's first full length release "Forty-Six Minutes, Twelve seconds of Music" is an aggressive, and eclectic blend of musical soundscapes both elegant and hard-hitting. JOLLY covers all auditory ground in this release, venturing from haunting ambience, to slicing guitar riffs, all interwoven with beautiful melodies. This album contains stunning originality while simultaneously striking a familiar chord with the listener.

Aside from the impressive musicianship, and refreshing writing styles, 46:12 also offers something new. Embeded throughout the album are various forms of brain wave stimulation known as Binaural Tones. These tones are scientifically proven to enrich feelings of happiness, focus, creativity, and relaxation through inaudible changes in audio frequencies. This phenomenon will greatly enhance the listening experience, drawing listeners deeper into the world of JOLLY. 46:12 is an album for the ages that will not be forgotten.
