“I suspect every promoter has their own criteria for success. Mine is when a paying member of the public gets enthused enough about what they saw to pen a review. I think a Buddhist Truax is on the money - I think that one track made me think of what the Moonies would have been like if Heaven 17 had instigated them - but I think Jon's a different beast from Twizz, in some ways. What's unusal about Jon is that you rarely see such musical chops and wholehearted sincerity mixed with semi-improvised psych pop. In the UK this sort of thing would always come with invisible quote marks, and would probably hang back from full immersion. Most people would refer to refer to the ritualistic, but only somone like Jon would make the Sheaf into a sonic ritual of his own devising. I honestly thought it was joyous music, really euphoric. Not sure I really crave visuals for Abandon, but I agree a live drummer or some more exciting programming woudl lift some already enoyable music. M&TM were missing a keyboard player, maybe they'd convince you with the full complement. Thanks for the review, Mark.” – on The Jon Cohen Experimental / Abandon / Mustard And The Monocle @ The Wheatsheaf, Oxford, 28/01/2012
