Jingle – Too Many Things
Calling yourself a name as reductive as Jingle when you’re making music this complex and layered? That’s a flex. Also maybe it’s a portmanteau of the artists name Joshua Ingle but my Arts degree quite simply hasn’t equipped me to ponder such questions. He’s been preparing remixes for the likes of Kučka and Ninajirachi in in the last three months so having warmed the tarmac he chosen this as the moment to finally become airborne.
The Novacastrian producer wrote this song for a charity compilation raising money for the Palestinian Red Crescent Society. It’s over 60 tracks long and features the likes of Arca, clipping and Holly Herndon among others so the taste? The taste is good. This song ‘Too Many Things’ centered those radar synths and Jingle’s manipulated vocal cadences for the first half before my attention was drawn to those viscerally crushing kick drum slams.
Shoutouts to Dave Ruby Howe who upon hearing this sent it to me and remarked ‘it had some sound doc energy all over’. The man knows. He’s always known.
