about

from worldofabstractdreams.blogspot.com review by Sam Byrd.

The Hopeless News, the new EP from my brother Jefferson Pilot, is both a logical stylistic extension from his last release (Shadow Hobby, with which Hopeless shares part of one track) and a radical departure... The almost elegiac (and not quite morose) moods and melodies are carried over here, but there's also a new use of found sounds, noise, and ambient experimentation that's quite unlike anything I've heard before, except from him... (granted, I don't get out much these days, but what else these days sounds like the loopy sax, backwards fragments, and mystified vocals of "Hello Mother Wilson"?)... the whole thing is a psychedelic mélange from a disoriented dreamscape, as sound events come and go, subsiding into the night-drenched synth-scape of "Garry Was Right" until the last track "LUV," which is a reworking of an older funk tune he'd done years ago... this one is a cubistic rearrangement of many of its elements, but ending with the same great anthemic power-pop refrain: "I've got to have your love..." You got it!
