Junk Culture's Deepak Mantena and Lower Dens' Jana Hunter play the role of a couple struggling to keep their relationship afloat in "Hang Roxy," the A-side of JC's recent 7" of the same name for Illegal Art. Mantena's lush assembly of transfigured street recordings, hyperactive synthesizers, and funky bass break the ice, revealing a far more complex tale in the process. The desperation of Mantena and Hunter's frustrated pleas seem at odds with the romantic backing track and their own infectious melody, but that paradox is what makes "Hang Roxy" so compelling. --Matt Sullivan, Altered Zones
