Johnny Throttle - Johnny Throttle - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Johnny Dynamite is a Philadelphia based post-punk act signed to Born Losers Records. Over the course of his first three albums, Johnny Dynamite has emerged as a succinct storyteller and songwriter. The characters inside Johnny's dream world are lucid, manic, and brimming with pangs of nostalgia. Poised against dark and atmospheric instrumentals, his harrowed vocal delivery and lyrics paint a picture of lost youth, hopeless romanticism, and teenage rebellion. Dynamite blends many different genres and connects the dots between different pockets of subculture; equal parts glossy new wave and anthemic rock n' roll. Johnny's signature beat centric production style incorporates hard hitting drum machines, 80's style guitar riffs and ethereal retro synth patches. His sound has been compared to legacy acts such as Pet Shop Boys, INXS, and The Cure as well as more modern acts such as MGMT and M83.

With SENTIMENTAL, MAFIA, JOHNNY delivers magnetic hooks and imaginative transitions, guided by nuanced interplay. Crafted with care and built for replay value. Textures of low-end warmth and lithe bass lines support sing-along , culminating in a vivid, lived-in world of sound. A standout for collectors who appreciate song-first perspectives, subtle complexity, and thoughtful detail.

A restless soul with a wide-open heart, Johnny Delaware was born in South Dakota, but he spent his 20s on the road, drifting between Nashville, Albuquerque, and Austin before landing in Charleston, SC, where he recorded his 2013 debut, Secret Wave. The album earned glowing reviews, with the Charleston City Paper declaring Delaware their Songwriter of the Year, but before he could record a follow-up, another local project he helped co-found, Susto, began taking off. Over the course of the next decade, the band would become one of the most critically acclaimed names in indie roots music, garnering raves from Rolling Stone and Spin and touring with the likes of The Lumineers, Band of Horses, and The Head and the Heart. In 2022, Delaware finally released his sophomore effort, Energy of Light, which he recorded after moving to Mexico City, and two years later, he followed it up with Para Llevar, which Glide Magazine hailed as Incha swirl of indie rock, Americana and psychedelic folk.Inch On his newest collection, On God's Time, Delaware returns to the sounds he grew up on in South Dakota, crafting a rich, cinematic meditation on mortality and meaning that's firmly rooted in the spiritual realm of the cosmic drifter. Produced by Delaware, the album reckons with death as a means of appreciating life, exploring love and loss and gratitude and regret through the eyes of a host of larger-than-life characters all navigating their way through a world of tragic beauty and infinite wonder.
