‘To start with, disorientating; something you can’t quite grasp. Further listening discerns a futuristic, unsteady metropolis.

Spectral, nostalgic, highly evocative, sometimes-desolate reflections — alone on the piano, and together with saxophonist and flautist Finn Peters — soaked in Satie, Ravel, and Mompou.

Easy to recommend to those of you who recently enjoyed Mashu Hayasaka’s Etudes LP, on All Night Flight. This is lovely stuff from Jesse, in an unexpected departure from his work with Elmore Judd, the Gorillaz, Nyege Nyege Tapes…
Another cracker of a book. Going on three hundred flyers, one per page; a handful in colour. Poignant loveliness from beginning to end. Click through for a couple more images.
