Joe Armon-Jones – Kingfisher (feat. Asheber)

Joe Armon-Jones – Kingfisher (feat. Asheber)

Joe Armon-Jones’ “Kingfisher” is the lead single from All The Quiet (out in two parts: March 28 and June 13) and pairs his Mercury Prize-winning jazz roots with DIY dub experimentation. Recorded in lockdown using reel-to-reel tapes and spring reverb, the track layers Asheber’s spoken-word poetry over smoky keys and basslines that throb like a vintage sound system. Armon-Jones, also known as a keyboardist of Ezra Collective, trades grandeur here. The entirely self-produced album bridges jazz improvisation and dub’s raw grit, proving solitude can spark a revolution.
