New Yorker Meshach Jackson is responsible for some of the most tripped out, heartfelt, experimental songwriting I've heard in a good while.

Similar in parts to where [Deftones] Chino Moreno's is coming from with his side project 'Team Sleep', there's a very dramatic element to the layered, atmospheric music that builds and twists through tight bass and drum arrangements.

The real deal here is Meshach's voice, which can't fail to grab you, and which brings real soul and emotion to the proceedings.

The aptly titled 4 track EP 'Experment In Drowning' has just been released and you can hear the streams on Meshach's Myspace page: myspace.com/meshachjackson... Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
