jesus not cutting it for you anymore? tired of waking up early for church? don't worry i've got you covered. there's a new savior in town and it comes in the form of spesus christ. cameron spies (speez) graduated from lincoln high school here in portland. so he is no stranger to these parts, but recently moved back to the motherland aka portland after a stint down in the bay area. there he and two friends began crafting the melancholic, downtempo, trip hop beats that i've come to love profusely from these guys. spesus christ puts out a sound that reminds me of animal collective (and/or panda bear), why? and the notwist, which is interesting because none of those bands are exactly downtempo or trip hop, but i think you'll see what i mean. perhaps they will flesh out their sound more when they release their first full length effort. 
until that time, cam just sent me their brand new self-titled 3 track ep and it's absolutely wonderful. versions of two of the tracks have been online for awhile, "truce" and "here it is". the ep features remastered editions of those and a third song, "airport gate". utilizing a polished electronic ability, the band puts out a finished product that is emotionally raw. light and dark, hard and soft. at only three tracks, i desperately want more from these guys. please spesus save me!spesus christ - "here it is"
