🚨 OUT NOW. 

In 2020, Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad were deep in sessions for their second album together as The Midnight Hour. Then the world shut down. The recordings were shelved, and the two pivoted to build the jazz label of their dreams: Jazz Is Dead.

The Midnight Hour: Lost Tapes JID028 will be released tomorrow. A lost treasure nearly forgotten.

For https://t.co/GUpvHh3t7T, the song speaks to waiting, both literally and metaphorically, for someone emotionally unavailable to finally arrive fully into your life. Its gentle sense of suspension offers a fittingly unresolved ending to the record. Lyrics by Jack Waterson.
