<a href="https://www.roughtrade.com/us/nerija/nerija-blume">Nerija - Blume</a>

Rough Trade Exclusive neon orange double vinyl with etched D-side. Includes bonus disc. Limited ton 1200 copies.

A stellar cast of London's finest female jazz stars create a feel good summer hit that shines bright and beautifully. Nerija's vibrant and vivacious debut grabs you by the hand and pulls you from one party to the next. Strength in collaboration is the theme, as the septet skip you through a diversity of influence from cool jazz to dub to surf rock to bebop. A significant addition to the ever-growing tapestry that is London-bred jazz.

Nubya Garcia (tenor saxophone), Sheila Maurice-Grey (trumpet), Cassie Kinoshi (alto saxophone), Rosie Turton (trombone), Shirley Tetteh (guitar), Lizy Exell (drums) and Rio Kai (bass). Recorded in the boat-shaped confines of London’s legendary Soup Studios and produced by Kwes, the overarching goal with Blume was to simply capture the rawness, warmth, joy and the spirit of their relationship and performance. One of the recording aims was to channel the feel of Teo Macero and Stanley Tonkel’s records with Miles Davis during his Columbia years, thinking “forward” as they did but for this band, capturing the controlled chaos and frame it with a timeless elegance.

“What is your wish? What do you expect?” Cross Record’s self-titled third album begins with Emily Cross’s disembodied voice intoning from an otherworldly vacuum. In the three years since her last album, Cross has divorced, quit drinking, become a death doula, started the observational podcast “What I’m Looking At,” and toured with Sub Pop’s Loma, the trio she formed with Dan Duszynski on drums and Jonathan Meiburg (Shearwater) on guitar /vocals. On Cross Record, she guides the listener like a sonic Virgil, delivering a textured soundscape of meditative curiosity, akin to Low’s Double Negative, Broadcast’s The Noise Made By People and Radiohead’s Kid A.

Having recorded 2016’s Wabi Sabi at home between work and sleep hours, Cross did the opposite for Cross Record, writing the album while living on a secluded part of Mexico’s coast. The collaborative atmosphere of Loma challenged Cross to experiment with her sound, detuning her voice and obstructing its clarity in specific moments. As such, Cross Record is primarily a showcase for Cross’s singing, as she pushes her range and engages with a multitude of approaches at every turn.

LP+ - Rough Trade Exclusive. Limited and numbered to 250 Copies. Bone White Coloured Vinyl with Download. Comes with limited edition booket, featuring drawings and thoughts from emily cross throughout the recording process.
