No-No Boy is the musical project of Vietnamese American singer and scholar Julian Saporiti. On his Smithsonian Folkways debut 1975, named after the year Saigon fell, Saporiti investigates his own family heritage as well as life in WWII Japanese internment camps, immigrant detention centers and refugee camps in 2020, and other stories of immigration that illustrate the complexities of becoming American. His songs are the epitome of folk storytelling in the modern era, as he interweaves histories with field recordings from the sites of collective trauma and fragments of Asian American musical tradition, from jazz to rock, to choral music. With his plaintive, direct voice, he takes listeners on a deeply human journey through the Asian American experience in the US. Album Tracks 1. St. Denis or Bangkok, from a Hotel Balcony 2. Imperial Twist 3. The Best God Damn Band in Wyoming 4. Gimme Chills 5. Close Your Eyes and Dream of Flowers 6. Honouliuli 7. Pilgrims 8. Where the Sand Creek Meets the Arkansas River 9.

The long awaited return of Nosaj Thing AKA Jason Chung, his 5th album and his debut for LUCKYME, Continua is an ensemble work from the artist Pitchfork dubbed the preeminent modern minimalist.The record features 12 artists at the fore of jazz, hip hop, rock, soul and the avant garde, brought together by the cohesiveness of Chung's signature atmospheres Toro y Moi, Julianna Barwick, Duval Timothy, Panda Bear (Animal Collective), Eyedress, serpentwithfeet, Pink Siifu, HYUKOH, Mike Andrews, Sam Gendel, Slauson Malone, Coby Sey, Kazu Makino (Blonde Redhead) and more contribute to this future classic. InchThere's multiple energies on the record and every time I hear it, it feels alive to me. It's a communal record and we all tuned into something. My hope is that this could impact whoever's listening to it in a positive way. Continua invites you forward. To keep going.InchThe heightened emotional undertones of Continua nod to a golden era where virtuosic electronic, downtempo and hip hop-inspired production transcended the late 90s MTV2 pop canon. Nosaj Thing's expertise is in crafting soundscapes that imply his journey, tracing back to the noise and punk shows at DIY venue The Smell, to working behind the counter of Turntable Lab, to his debut at Low End Theory, his opening performances for The xx and then The Weeknd. He's played a decade of ambitious, headline experiences with Tokyo-based visual savant, Daito Manabe. This essence of IRL live-ness imbues his music with such a visceral emotional range that it would be reductive to describe it as a 'mood'. But it's exactly that communally-shared 'mood' that has made Nosaj Thing such a cult artist across his 16-year-deep discography. Album Tracks 1. Continua 2. My Soul or Something 3. Process 4. Woodland 5. Blue Hour 6. Grasp 7. We Are 8. Condition 9. Look Both Ways 10. All Over 11. Skyline 12. Di
