The Blow is originally Khaela Maricich. For several years, The Blow have been hard at work developing an essential pop music formula, fashioned, as the best popular music is, with the function of getting under the skin of the people. Fascinated with the physics of pop construction, The Blow makes music that holds a weightless gravity.
On Paper Television, The Blow's current release, the project is Jona Bechtolt and Khaela Maricich. The two have been working together as The Blow since 2004 when they recorded a limited edition EP called "Poor Aim: Love Songs". It quickly became clear that the results of their combined forces flexed with a muscle that had a range far beyond the limited edition market. United by a shared affection for the sparkling production styles of mainstream radio, and both raised with deep roots in the DIY scenes of the Pacific Northwest, the duo makes fractured pop chart toppers to seduce all manner of hearts out of their cases, onto the floor. Jona's percussive savvy bumps and trips under Khaela's intimate, insistent vocals.
Since 2007 The Blow is back to Khaela Maricich solo, whereas Jona Bechtolt is focussing on his project Yacht. |
