Jex Opolis - Ravines by Jex Opolis, released 14 April 2017 1. Wild Conceits 2. La Bellaca 3. Ravines 4. Wake Up 5. First Stomp 6. Cave Dancer 7. Mt. Belzoni 8. Après-MIDI 9. Snow on Tompkins Jex Opolis, the Canadian musician, DJ and producer, will release his debut LP this spring. Ravines is a diverse, nine-tune collection for all seasons-from the Brian Wilson-in-Ibiza waltz of Après-MIDI to the cosmic hug chug of Wild Conceits

Jex Opolis - Ravines "He's the smoothest guy I know," said Dane MacDonald of fellow Canadian Jered Stuffco, AKA Jex Opolis, last year. MacDonald was talking about the velvety synth sounds of Stuffco's "On The Cliffs," from 2013's Zither EP. Stuffco's music is full of these kind of sounds. The luminous glow of "La Bellaca" is an early highlight and a fine example of the album's mix of chilled-out vibes and knotty songwriting. Zippy synth lines wriggle up and down as proggy guitar chords move in unexpected directions. The effect is jarring until you settle into the groove-the Carlos Santana-esque guitar solo that worms through the track's second half is more than enough of a reward for sticking with it. Other parts of Ravines are more straightforward. The title track moves with an easygoing swing

In stock now for same day shipping. Given the quality of his output to date, hopes are naturally high for this debut album from Good Timin' boss Jex Opolis. Predictably, it's a thrilling set, packed with undeniably Balearic moments rich in kaleidoscopic synths, rich boogie bass, jammed out electrofunk solos, tapped out drum machine rhythms and breezy, summer's afternoon chords.

Talk about Jex Opolis - Ravines


SoSok
Massive debut album from mastermind Jex Opolis!!! Incredible and clever arrangement! 5/5
Hugighma
This is the first LP from Jex and it does not disappoint. Overall, a bit more downtempo but just as funky.
