Album Notes

Cocktails with Carnivores is the third self-released cd by Juan Prophet Organization. The following is a review by Progressive Homestead:
When I started to hear this, I could easily see myself listening to this band in a city tent, being presented as if this was new cabaret but it is in fact much heavier... There are really heavy outbursts, but then the complexity ever brings you to different places. One time it is as if there is a certain (alternative) inspiration involved that is comparable to Balkan/Klezmer or so, as an ethno-folk-rock origin (in the same way the Finish group Alamailman Vasarat shows this), bringing this with singing drives and certain heavy rock colours to heavier drives, without ever losing the feeling for a surprising complexity. Even with a portion of energetically channelled aggression, on the edge of metal expression (guitars, vocals), the almost classical chamber-like arrangements (violin,..) keep the compositions fresh like an ever-evolving, refined art form. They’re almost Magma-esque vocals on “Clown”. I am amazed and bewildred to hear how much change are put together cohesively into one art-work, this is (post-rock format).
