PREMIERE: Jon Kohen - Dead Reckoning

Jon Kohen has just unveiled a new video for the title track of his debut album 'Dead Reckoning', due for release next week (available on CD via Endless Bummer Records).   
Using WWII footage, the video displays the way in which the particular navigation technique worked then. 
For Jon Kohen it is another opportunity to use metaphor in order to distance and differentiate himself from the way people are sometimes expected to make their choices in life. 
Highly emotional and atmospheric with soft vocals and penetrating, ethereal beats, the song will 'beckon' to you.

PREMIERE: Jon Kohen - With Monsters At My Heels

Jon Kohen is a young musician from Boston, MA. He plays acoustic music over ambient electronica. His music is comprised of acoustic guitar and soft vocals over subtle electronic drones, beats and samples drawing influence from Elliot Smith and The Postal Service. His debut album 'Dead Reckoning' is scheduled for release on April 13th. Searchlight is the first single off the album, which follows The Heart of the Machine, an EP which came out last June. 
 Today we premiere the video for 'With Monsters At My Heels' directed by talented Michael O'Connor. A metaphorical song about moving on that could be a part of a compilation of poems dressed in equally evocative music. And a video that succeeds in visualizing this atmosphere.
