The Thousands

Hailing from Puerto Rico Town in New York City, Justice of the Unicorns is a peculiar band. And not just due to their cover art. Within the sound of this five-piece, one might hear vocals variously reminiscent of Nick Cave or My Morning Jacket, drumming that is The National-esque, a musical variety like that of (appropriately) The Unicorns and strange innocence akin to Bright Eyes.**JOTU are, paradoxically, made up of everything you know, and yet are like nothing you’ve heard before. That’s before we even get to the lyrical content. This includes a glowing assessment of Jesus’ girlfriend, a dissection of comfortable Malibu lives, pushing around broken golf carts and mystified questioning of the circumstances surrounding one’s conception. ANGELS WITH UZIS is odd – that’s a given. It’s also uniquely intriguing, humourous, and touching.
