Jenova 7 is nom de plume of Michael J. Sirois, Boston-based musician and filmmaker and “Soul For Sale” is his way of introducing himself to the world. “Soul” is a giant labyrtinth of sounds, all layered and modified – there’s stuttering beats and harmonica samples on a title track, hot guitar licks on “Last Breath And Beyond”, warm synth sounds of “World Still Turns” and so on and so forth.
