about

Pontiak
NOPE/JEPPE
LTG 010

Pontiak are three brothers from VA. They grew up playing music together and still record in their own barn studio there, both self releasing and also releasing records on the legendary Chicago label Thrill Jockey Records.

Here on a special new ep for Lightning Records titled NOPE/JEPPE, recorded at their barn in 2014, vast rock n roll landscapes rise and fall, sputtering and emerging from a primordial rock world - slowly unfolding to reveal epic rock n roll riffs, and then just as quickly submerging back into the noise of their own subconscious.

Heady and visceral, Pitchfork has called their rock n roll “ambitious and iconoclastic” - Pontiak continues here to ride the lines of body and head - NOPE / JEPPE .

“Pontiak recall the power and the glory of the Stooges and MC5” - Rolling Stone

"For all of their affinity for murky, sludgy sounds, Pontiak roars away with remarkable precision, pulling off that men-as-machine ethos quite convincingly. Maybe it's a sibling thing?" – San Francisco Bay Guardian

Dialectic of Ignorance

supported by 6 fans who also own “NOPE/JEPPE”

I've only been a fan for a short while but the 1st 2 albums I bought are awesome. Someone posted "Ignorance Makes Me High" on Reddit & it freakin' blew me away. Bass & drum groove give away to one badass guitar... Can't wait to listen to the rest of the album 🤘 Steve

Bright gray sheets of roaring and shimmering guitar held aloft by a delicate web of percussion. Post-rock, shoegaze, psych- rock and hints of bluesy folk, all audible and enmeshed. IlsaJ

Volume One

supported by 4 fans who also own “NOPE/JEPPE”

While I'm a huge fan of electronic music, I love when these projects also introduce a narrative aspect. The unfolding history of Martin's musical journey adds such a wonderful dimension while listening to these albums. Not to mention the great visuals, too. M0T0M
