Biography
Producer Johnny Jewel and vocalist Ida No are currently a duo churning out lush, elegant electro-pop that manages to maintain a DIY aesthetic. And it's DAMN fun to dance to. They still find ways to incorporate some elements of their earlier days as Glass Candy & the Shattered Theater, a crunchy, noisy, glam-rock disco outfit. These days, however, the distorted no wave guitar is replaced by layered synth leads and a booming bass. Head over to Troubleman Unlimited, where you can find the latest from Johnny Jewel's and Mike Simonetti's Italians Do It Better label (including a limited vinyl issue of their celebrated After Dark comp and some releases by Johnny's Chromatics project).
