JeezJesus: I See You
I See You – JeezJesus Stares Straight Into the Collapse
by Jack Rush
With I See You, London-based multimedia provocateur JeezJesus delivers his most incendiary single to date—a politically charged darkwave exorcism aimed squarely at the fractures widening beneath modern society. Serving as the final single before his fourth album Somewhere Between Love & Misery, the track feels less like a release and more like a warning flare: stark, corrosive, and impossible to ignore.
From the opening seconds, I See You announces itself with synths that corrode rather than soothe—tones that hiss and spit as if eaten by acid rain. The production carries echoes of early industrial pioneers, but what begins in homage quickly mutates into something fiercely contemporary. The percussion lands with a jagged, Nine Inch Nails–esque punch, grounding a sonic landscape steeped in tension and decay.
Over this, JeezJesus’ drawled vocal delivery channels the apathetic snarl of Public Image Ltd and the spectral melancholy of Bauhaus. The effect is hypnotic: a voice half-buried in the rubble, bearing witness to everything we pretend not to see. As the mantra-like refrain “I see you” cycles again and again, it shifts from accusation to solidarity—a signal sent outward to the unheard, the unseen, the disillusioned.
Lyrically, the track confronts social injustice with unflinching directness. Angels calling for lifelines, devils feasting on the spoils, violence rising, tomorrow shrinking—JeezJesus isn’t crafting metaphor so much as holding a mirror to what’s already there. But for all its fury, I See You offers connection rather than nihilism, a reminder that in an increasingly polarised world, recognising one another is its own quiet rebellion.
As an artistic statement, the track stands tall: uncompromising, emotionally stark, and charged with a purpose that extends well beyond aesthetics. It might not shift the machinery of the world, but it captures its moral corrosion with startling clarity.
Biography
JeezJesus is the creative alter-ego of London-based multimedia artist Joe McIntosh. After studying Music Technology at the University of Salford, he became an active figure in the Manchester music scene, performing with bands such as indie outfit VALA and psychedelic rock collective The Peace Pipers. He also served as producer for The Peace Pipers, shaping releases including the EP Patterns and the double single Helicopter/The Towers.
Before adopting the JeezJesus moniker, McIntosh released dark electronic music under the name GIMP, issuing the EP Reject alongside various singles. In 2022, he unveiled the JeezJesus project with the album Dr. Electro Love, establishing a sound that blends post-punk, darkwave, synth-driven atmospherics, and industrial grit.
The years that followed saw prolific experimentation: alternative dance EPs in 2023, the goth-leaning Super Creeps & Spooky Beats in 2024, and the experimental ambient collection Sound Art: Vol. 1. Now in 2025, JeezJesus prepares for the release of Somewhere Between Love & Misery, continuing to refine a style that sits at the crossroads of industrial, post-punk, synthpop, and darkwave.
Eclectic yet intentional, JeezJesus creates for a dedicated corner of the alternative world—those who seek expression that is unfiltered, confrontational, and unmistakably his own.
