review: John & Jehn - "Time for the Devil".

French duo from London released new single "Time for the Devil". And as 2 years have gone they are ready to release their second album in March, 2010. This single is got to underpin the long play. The thought about sixties' pop music gets to the mind when you hear that track. Actually it's a very catchy song in own style that is influenced by that decade.
The track is available for listening on the band’s myspace page now. Here is also an interesting note about where duo gets their inspiration and especially what they read now. So there’s no surprise why the single and album were called so – John reads Hermann Hesse who was a Swiss writer and essayist (famous for his novels "Siddhartha" and "Steppenwolf") and Jehn reads "The Hour of the Devil" written by Portuguese poet and writer Fernando Pessoa. Both authors lived in the beginning of the XXth century and explored in their works an individual's search for authenticity. I suppose band's upcoming release won't be deprived of conceptual ideas.
