Januarius | EPK
Bio
With a sound described as a "lo-fi fever dream," Januarius' music accentuates the beauty in the bizarre by crafting hypnotic yet hook-laden songs that seamlessly meld post-punk, darkwave, shoegaze, and no wave with traditional songwriting prowess. His signature cold baritone is accompanied by a palette of guitar, brooding synthesizers, drones, and somber but mellifluent hooks that envelop the listener. The influence of iconoclastic artists like Greg Sage, Sonic Youth, Iggy Pop, Mark Lanegan, Nico, and Glenn Branca are prevalent. Produced independently and recorded without regard for technical convention, Januarius sees his music as a call for individuality in an age of alienation and conformity. The enigmatic multi-instrumentalist and songwriter hails from Philadelphia, PA and currently resides in Washington, DC.
