Jenkees incorporates this style in his writing by using the pitch bender on his keyboard to create his guitar solos featured in my favourite song off the album, “Red Lemonade Remixed”. If you have checked out the bios page from your writers (please do!), then you know I’m a huge fan of bends on the guitar. I have to admit, this gains the nostalgia factor from all those nintendo games I used to play (and still do, who am I kidding). He tends to use this effect for the chord progression while throwing a couple “8-bit” melodies which intertwine beautifully to create the full electronic sound. This album was much heavier on the heart-thumping mechanical keyboard sound than his previous work.
That would be so cool if he did! But as Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 once told me… “Out with the old in the new”, so enough about the old stuff! Maybe I’ll send it to him one day and see if he comments on it. I even wrote a rap song myself overtop of the instrumentals from “The Sunfish Song”. Now by this point I had high expectations, I mean how can you top his older rap song “It’s Gettin Rowdy”, as well as the keyboard solo in “Clutter”.
Well four years later (and 2 amusing albums later), we are lucky to receive his newest edition to the music world: Days Away. Special thanks to STS9 for composing the backtrack that Jenkees solos over. I also love the progression of this song, it somehow manages to become increasingly more epic as it plays. Love the introduction “Hey Youtubes! Thanks for watching!”, it gives me a sense that he is a very genuine and friendly person.
