What blows me when I listen to anything by J*DaVeY is that they aren’t huge yet. The Los Angeles based duo consisting of Jack Davey on vocals and Brook D*Leau on the beats get better with every project. Their latest “Boudoir Synema: The Great Mistape” finds them reveling in the sexy and spacey sound they’ve created and mastered.
The mixtape starts with the almost punk sounding “Fight The Daylight.” The breakdown on this trippy song is a dream to listen to. “Crawl All Over,” which was on most blogs by early Jan, still doesn’t get old after the 50th listen. It’s partly because on this song Jack is at her most seductive as she coos, “Ay babe, you know I’m crazy for some action.” This type of stuff would make Prince blush.
Everything that follows, from the tounge in cheek “Permission” to the breezy anthem “Get Together” is worth more than a few listens. “Boudoir Synema: The Great Mistape” is the first of many EPs, and at five songs, the mixtape that feels more like an EP and has me in the mood for even more J*DaVeY music. If given the right push, this is sure to be a quick favorite among J*DaVeY fans old and new.

Agreed. When I picked up their debut (from a mention either in Straight No Chaser or on some other music forum) I was immediately taken by how sharp the music was, and how slick the packaging (in terms of them having their very own clearly articulated identity), I didn’t understand why they had not broken big then. Then again, neither has Fishbone, Res, Heavy, and a slew of others…so maybe the public needs to catch up.
