Words have less meaning than sounds. The End has never been closer. There’s enough plastic in our brains to mold into a GI Joe. From the DIY electronica scene of Denver to the alternative rap enclaves of Chicago to tours up and down both coasts, for over a decade Jake Danna has made leftfield, beat-driven music that explores the space between man and technology. With PNKO, Danna takes his music to its logical extreme. Along the delicate, swaying branch of free improvisation, PNKO uses touch and instinct to make music with machines. Drums and synthesizers merge with a cracked intellect and native creativity to create music that’s wholly original.
