Editor's review
The molecular structure of indie rock has been stretched out like taffy in the hands of Judah Johnson. Not a man but a band of young musical auteurs, Judah Johnson poses the question: What if latter-day Radiohead came from Detroit? And not the scuzz and skronk guitar part of Detroit, but the contemplative, sensitive part, with its wide streets and burned-out factories?
Biography
Forget what you think you know about contemporary Detroit rock for a moment. If you can, ditch any recent associations with Motor City guitar music and the millennial garage rock explosion before you press play. Judah Johnson's full-length debut, Kisses and Interrogation, needs your ears naked, your mind thirsty and your soul begging for an album that it can float on. This is one life vest of a record.
"The group then headed to the studio to record with legendary producer Don Dixon (REM, the Smithereens) before even booking any shows. Combining the lyrical intelligence of Elvis Costello, the instrumental innovativeness of Swervedriver and the vocal range and soul of Buckley, Judah Johnson are definitely "Made for Greatness." -- Detroit Metro Times.
