Migration Climate “Highly Recommended” Endless Crate
"Gerald Baileyโs ๐๐ช๐จ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐๐ญ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ is a jazz album, but not in the traditional sense. Centered around dusty drums, recycled instruments and brassy horns, itโs rooted in a grimy kind of jazz that creates a bluesy, careworn sound. Highly recommended." Album Link
“Rain Party” Release on May 10
Rain Party is a follow up single to the sold out vinyl LP, Migration Climate. Thumb piano lines create polyrhythmic counterpoint that sounds like falling rain. The heavy drums are a nod to rainmaking rituals from Africa and North America. Link to Stream Pre-Save
