Los Angeles musician Jaws presents his third full-length album, Object Dom. The tracks on Object Dom are a sort of broken rave song, littered with open seams and loose-ends tangled amongst themselves in DIY fashion. Within that framework, it seems to intentionally mix-up positive and negative feelings through its instrumentation: familiar synth pulls and screeches characteristic of unbridled delight on the dancefloor are coated in a certain kind of messy rumble evocative of the feeling of wanting to throw up. Robert Girardin, aka Jaws, said this of the release: "The song takes tropes of Dutch rave, breakbeats, and hoover patches, squeezing them into a maximal pop-songs format of call and response, attempting to sonically recreate the dopamine rush of online notifications."

Jaws is a reality-based sound and performance project by Robert Girardin. Influenced by the everyday rhythmic impressions of sight and movement, it uses electronics and voice to put forth a dense and slithering sound with lyrics reflecting the labyrinthine confines and possibilities of life. In late 2011, Jaws released its first album, the crash-informed Stress Test on Hundebiss Records. This was followed by a collaboration with Milan's Dracula Lewis as the Sex Boyz, a post-analog reimagining of two sneering Germs songs, released on Ultra Eczema. In 2012 Jaws was the inaugural act for Ashland Mine's highly-praised "Blasting Voice" performance series, staged at the Suzanne Geiss gallery in downtown Manhattan. The creator behind Jaws has for years worked with New York's Excepter, touring Europe and recording three albums. He is a current member of Hippos In Tanks act White Car. Keys to the Universe is an exuberant, crushing visualization of life from the top of the heap.
