heads.jpg (7801 bytes)Transcontinental duo Jordan creates popular music that is, prima facie, multicultural. Spanish national Marcos Sueiro, from a small town in the hills outside Barcelona, met American Nicholas Markos as each of them worked on various album projects in Chicago’s indie scene.

Jordan developed while the two were on tour with a British singer in the American West. Stopping their vehicle by the side of a road that threaded the Confusion Range in western Utah, the idea for Jordan materialized. "I stood upon that hilltop, my ten-thousand filaments stretched across the ether, and suddenly I was in touch with the really real," says Markos.

Jordan's debut album. Epiphany, was painstakingly constructed over the course of three years on a vintage tape machine, though you'd never suspect the low-tech approach after hearing the epic soundscapes and thunderous tones. Melodies appear and reappear, weaving through different songs to create a unified whole. Instrumental pieces provide context and transition for a distinctly coherent album.

From the far side of the ocean, they put the wheels in motion.
