Hailed by New Zealand's National Radio as the pioneer of a new sound, Jordans music has been variously described as "celtic industrial", "folk noir" and "Antipodean Steampunk" yet defies any cut and dried description. Jordan combines pioneer-era industrial found sound, with folktronic loops and etherial vocal melodies to tell the extraordinary tales of ordinary people in a time where life was being turned upside down by the invenstion of new machines.
