JLIN
AKOMA (GOLD VINYL) (PLANET MU)
Already delivered an electronic music classic of its own right with "Black Origami", 2024 `Akoma' is the next step.
Featuring guests Björk & Philip Glass Jlin's detailed and meticulous exploration of rhythm's inner and outer reaches has made her one of the most distinctive and recognisable voices within both the electronic and new music worlds.
Her compositions are consistently appealing and have an accessibility to them, yet often defy expectations.
She exists within her own locus solus - no matter the collaborator, no matter where sounds ultimately lead her.
Whatever the situation - from composing the Pulitzer Prize shortlisted `Perspective' for Third Coast Percussion, to `Godmother' her AI-powered collaboration with Holly Herndon, Jlin always expresses her outlook to the fullest.
Her new album `Akoma' sets a new benchmark in her personal road map, not only since the album features guest appearances from Björk, Philip Glass and Kronos Quartet but for her continued sonic persistence and resistance.
Jlin does what Jlin does and it's beloved across genres, across scenes and across generations.
`Akoma' is a new entry point into her sound and a new approach for both those who have been following diligently and those who are just now entering her world.
