Track of the week. While we don’t know exactly who j maw is (yet), this emerging outfit is one of the most exciting finds we have come across recently. By being intentionally mysterious, j maw aims to encourage listeners to focus on the music above anything else.
Ambient yet captivating in tone, new single ‘Day Ones’ presents listeners with a perfected blend of lo-fi alternative R&B and hip hop. The resulting sound is nothing short of spectacular. Elaborating further on the song’s concept, j maw explains:
“’Day Ones’ is about friendship, Sangha, community – the people that were with you from the beginning and the ones that need to see you get back up after you’ve been hurt. It’s like UFO music because it comes from that other place, the kind of place you can only get to in your dreams.”
With such a unique approach to music-making, there’s no doubt in our minds that j maw will garner significant traction over the next year.
