Jordan Robson-Cramer


Jordan Robson-Cramer, left

Jordan Robson-Cramer's had his hand in a number of honey-jars (both musical and otherwise) over the last couple years, despite being only 20. My earliest recollection of him is a 2001 performance as a precocious 15 year old, fronting a group vaguely reminescient of Sonic Youth at an outdoor summer concert in Centennial Square in Victoria. From there he improvised the music for Dilemma Dilemma's first and only release, a 3" CD proclaimed to be "better than Black Dice" by Jesse F. Keeler, now of DFA1979 fame. He also recorded Fuck Me USA's first songs in his mother's basement, played in Victoria's Short Pants Romance, and stayed with them through their transition into the watershed psychic group Lakeboat. 21st Century Fox was another solo project of his, and he's been tinkering around non-stop in basements and apartments from Victoria to Montreal (where he now resides), without any of Daniel Johnston's nasty body-odour problems or messianic complex... Despite him telling me that he was somewhat unhappy with it, and that it doesn't represent what he's interested in doing right now, I'm posting an mp3 I got from him a while back...
