Brijean - Macro - VINYL LP

Do you feel what I feel too? Brijean Murphy floats the question at the start of Feelings, the full-length Ghostly International debut from Brijean, her collaborative project with Doug Stuart. Guided by a rich mix of charismatic keyboard chords, grooving bass lines, and radiant bongo-driven rhythms, the InchDay DreamingInch lyric doubles as an invitation and a statement of intention. Brijean want you to move, physically, mentally, dimensionally; this is dance music for the mind, body, and soul. With Feelings, they've manifested a gentle collective space for respite, for self-reflection, for self-care, for uninhibited imagination and new possibilities.

Pink and Blue (Color Vinyl). Angelo features nine songs Brijean have crafted and carried with them through a period of profound change, loss, and relocation. The months surrounding the acclaimed of Feelings, their full-length Ghostly International debut in 2021 which celebrated tender self-reflection and new possibilities, rang bittersweet with the absence of touring & personal loss. They explored new moods and styles, reaching for effervescent dance tempos and kaleidoscopic backdrops, vibrant colors in contrast to their more somber human experiences. Angelo beams with positivity and creative renewal - a resourceful, collective answer to Inchwhat happens now?Inch

Ukrainian progressive groove metal wrecking machine Jinjer have returned with their long awaited new album Macro and once again prove why the unique blend of singer Tatiana Shmaylyuk's beautifully aggressive harmonies and vocal hooks, and the bands sheer technical brilliance and precision have set them apart from the pack. From Macro's opening track 'On The Top', which showcases all of their trademark sounds at once, to the superior musicianship and delivery of tracks like 'Pausing Death' and 'Home Back', to the viciously heavy reggae induced vibe on 'Judgement (& Punishment)', Jinjer are making it known that they are here to take over in a huge way.
