Just The Architect’s “Theo The Weak”

Jonathan Chan, the mind behind Just The Architect, is one of those people that always leave us mesmerizes by anything he touches!

Wandering through his own magical world, Just The Architect present us six new songs on the edge of perfection. Title track is violent and chaotic, a love tragedy, a fantasy, a dream – all this combining a pop sensibility to marvellous string arrangements and beautiful lyrics…

“Little Tin Soldiers” could be Just The Architect’s major approach to a gothic lullaby, “The Trade” reminds his first demos. A stunning duet with Rachel Kenedy on “Concoction” brings strings and backing vocals making way to a dazzling female voice. “Lost Along The Way” is pop music via Patrick Wolf and Owen Pallet.

The best moment of this EP is definitely “In Motion”… a dark, melancholic, repetitive melody swirls inside our minds like some kind of spell, it’s impossible not to stay put and listen closely to all that’s happening inside just one song. When it’s over you just wish it would never end…

I’ve written about Just The Architect before and he is definitely someone you will want to follow, he might never become world wide famous… but those who know him, are surely quite lucky!
