Jiyu’s debut album“Caught in the Rain at the Tea Shop” from 2021. 12"/140g/Black Vinyl.
First track and album-single, “Woman Behind the Sun”, starts out with a dusty brass opening, old as the sun. The following guitar/flute theme, driven by a lazy boom-clack beat, quickly outlines Jiyu’s Jazz-hybrid sound, blown in from the future. Guitar-player and Jiyu-producer, Emil Jonathan Søegaard, leads the way, accompanied by Bo Rande on flugelhorn, and his brother Lukas Rande on flute and sax. The four previous singles to this album, “Who Rules the World”, “So Many Moons to Go”, “King of Mañana” and “Parallel Dreams”, is backed up by fellow musicians have made it to some serious jazz playlists on Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal, and are supported by radio dj’s from UK to Japan.
Besides these singles, this album reveals a deeper and more meditative side of Jiyu. Tracks like the title-track “Caught in the Rain at the Tea Shop”, “Before the Cicadas Awaken” and “The Pinewoods on the Mountain” are compositions written, as scores, to deep felt moments. Putting tones to experiences, feelings and thoughts, so powerful that you want to cut it out of time and frame it, is the spark and idea that gave birth to these compositions, and the very foundation of this album. A big thank to all the musicians in the Jiyu family, for making this idea become music.
