| Description: | Twenty Twenty: Joe Keery, who you may also recognize from the show "Stranger Things," began playing music in his teens after co-opting his sister's guitar, but it was during his college years at DePaul University in Chicago that he formed his first band and began to seriously pursue music. That band was Post Animal, the heavy psych rock outfit that went on to release a self-titled EP and two subsequent albums via Polyvinyl. They also toured with artists like Twin Peaks, Wavves and Cage The Elephant and played a number of US festivals. In 2019, with no announcement or fanfare, Keery's solo-project Djo was unveiled not with a single, but a lush, self-reflective, layered 12 track full-length album titled Twenty Twenty. "Joe Keery built a carnival. The resonance of each riff or beat is not new, but redesigned and reshaped into the beauty it is today. The face of psych or alternative mirrored through his own design, and it reveals a person who shouldn't be underestimated," said Rodeo Mag. Despite the album being released under the radar and without a label, fans found their way to it, and Twenty Twenty has now seen more than 200 million streams to date. - Twenty Twenty: Joe Keery, who you may also recognize from the show "Stranger Things," began playing music in his teens after co-opting his sister's guitar, but it was during his college years at DePaul University in Chicago that he formed his first band and began to seriously pursue music.

This album blends psychedelic pop, synth-driven indie and a warm retro aesthetic, resulting in a soundscape that feels both nostalgic and distinctly modern. Lush analog-style synths, groovy bass lines and airy vocals create a dreamy, cinematic atmosphere, while clever song structures and detailed production reward repeated listening. The LP format emphasizes the album's cohesive flow, inviting you to experience the record front to back as a complete artistic statement rather than a loose collection of singles.
Djo serves here not only as the performing artist but also as the creative brand behind the production. The name stands for a strongly DIY-minded approach that values sonic experimentation, character-driven lyrics and a consistent, recognizable visual identity. Fans of inventive, slightly psychedelic indie pop will find a rich palette of sounds, from shimmering, upbeat tracks to more introspective, slow-burning moments. The vinyl pressing gives the music additional warmth and depth, making this edition particularly attractive for collectors and analog enthusiasts who appreciate immersive, headphone-friendly productions.
As an artist, Djo has gained attention well beyond his acting work through his distinct musical voice. His releases have found a dedicated following within the indie and alternative scene, especially among listeners who enjoy projects that blur the lines between psych-pop, synth-pop and experimental rock. Djo's songs are frequently highlighted for their memorable hooks, layered arrangements and the way they balance accessibility with artistic ambition. This LP underlines his evolution from side project to serious musical endeavor and showcases his ability to shape a coherent, atmospheric album that stands firmly on its own. |
