Jay Tholen’s increasingly eclectic body of work is shown here in ‘Vainglory’, his first EP for Pause. Vainglory dances effortlessly from melody to noise, from ecstatic joy to existential dread, in tessellations intricate and subtle.

01 Smoke, Nothing But Smoke
02 YHWH
03 Ancient Feast, Specially Prepared
04 The Call of Abaddon
05 At All (With Extra Meaninglessness)

Jay Tholen – Vocals, Tracking and Sequencing, Samples and Found Sounds, Keyboards, Percussion, Melodica, Ukulele
