John War creates a beautiful symbiosis of clashing sounds on "Track #4." The multi-instrumentalist’s latest defaces any fluid approach to genre conventions, taking a loose indie rock structure and turning it inside out with an odd convergence of styles which include, and are not limited to, reggae, sophisti-pop, and jungle tekno. War – who self-produced Track #4 – adds a surrealist touch to his lyrical imagery, seamlessly forging his madcap vision while retaining a pop slant.
"Track #4" is just a taste of War’s inventive approach and should be indicative of what he unveils on his forthcoming Summer release, the tentatively-titled Fantasy. Juan Rodríguez
