Bewilderment - Vinyle Vert

Description

Confusion - the feeling of being perplexed and disoriented - is the inspiration behind Pale Jay's new album. It is a soulful exploration of the gradual disintegration of a family following years of avoidance and poor communication. During this difficult time, Pale Jay began to question the stories he had always accepted and reexamined his identity. The resulting work, Bewilderment, is his debut album, which strives to find answers to these questions and many more. The album is released on Karma Chief Records, a subsidiary of Colemine. Pale Jay is a jazz-trained singer and pianist. He wrote, recorded, and produced all the songs on the album, except for "By The Lake," which is a collaboration with the trio Okonski, consisting of Steve Okonski, Aaron Frazer, and Michael Montgomery. Pale Jay's music is influenced by a wide range of songwriters, including Labi Siffre, Carole King, and William Onyeabor. Bewilderment is a perfect blend of the hazy soul, slow disco, and afrobeat that characterize Pale Jay. The string arrangements by Raven Bush add an extra layer of magic to the highly rhythmic productions. Pale Jay's debut album is a captivating journey of self-discovery. Each song on Bewilderment tells a unique story, but they all share a common theme of personal growth and self-understanding. For fans of Mayer Hawthorne, Bobby Oroza, Burrito Eats, Holy Hive, The Dip. Pressed on green vinyl.
