the day is finally here - Selfless, my new album, is now officially out on Constellation Records. this is my first physical release, and with a label - not only can you hear my album, you can actually own a copy this time!
you can hear the album here - https://jonivoid.bandcamp.com/album/selfless and purchase a copy here - http://cstrecords.com/cst125/
eternal love and gratitude to Natalie, Ayuko, Ogun and Ky, for making the songs exist, and to Constellation for making the album happen - and a multitude of other friends that would take forever to list, who have supported me and this album during the process, and helped its existence.
i hope you'll feel this album - it is a much more cathartic, abstract, dark approach to my music, compared to my previous output, but definitely is more cohesive, conceptual and thematic. it is more of a work of editing and collage than musical composition/traditional song-writing. the album is intended to represent an out-of-body experience, through any means necessary - music, cinema, art, death, drugs, mental or physical illness... it is a "projection", in the various meanings of the word. despite the title, it is definitely a very personal, very thought-out body of work, filled with meanings and details that are hidden in multiple layers of subjectivity.
oh and i've gotten more press today than in my 7 previous years of making music lol
this one is very special - today also happens to be Delia Derbyshire's 80th birthday, which you might know is my personal goddess, so this is the most wonderful coincidence I could ask for. for the occasion, The Quietus are premiering a Selfless outtake, Li De La, which is (almost) entirely made from a Delia Derbyshire piece, "Circle Of Light", and the title is one of her pseudonyms. So if the album wasn't enough for you, here's an extra song, along with some words from me about Delia and her impact in my life http://thequietus.com/articlβ¦/22352-jean-cousin-is-joni-void
