Javelin brings to mind the globe spanning crate-digging experiments of The Avalanches with a bit of Brooklyn flair. Only instead of twisting thousands of samples into three minute masterpieces, Javelin actually plays all these dusty grooves live. They recreate these sounds using a mix of stings, guitars, drums, and pianos. They also throw drum machines, samplers, turntables, and even the occasional glockenspiel in the mix. They’re getting ready to release their debut album called “No Mas” in April and are visiting Phoenix as the opening act for Yeasayer on April 15th. Their party-inducing live sets should set the stage nicely for what’s sure to be the pre-Coachella show of the year.
