Geeez 'N' Gosh - My Life With Jesus

Glitch-gospel-house? Why not? Geeez ‘N’ Gosh (better known as Atom Heart) takes gospel samples and tweaks them until they’re almost unrecognizable. “Soul of Mine,” the standout track on My Life With Jesus, has that raise-your-hands quality to it, but within an entirely processed setting. Other tracks have God-related titles, (“I Believe in Jesus,” “Gotta Pray”) but thrum with an electronic pulse that’s definitely not as pious as you’d think. “Jesus Knows” has hiss + glitch + synths = typical Atom Heart weirdness. The final track, “Calling Jesus” starts with a voice that is layered until it becomes a buzz, then plops in a beat and a repeating vocal sample, until it becomes a rollicking, foot-stomping track. An interesting and fun concept, not entirely successful, but when it works, it works heavenly.
