Lush and vibrant production is \nfamiliar to his previous works, though Eadie has significantly matured in the activation of\nspace and character. A step away from standard songwriting, and a total disassociation \nfrom lyrics at all, has made this record closer to the ambient genre than anything \nManatee Commune has released, all the while keeping one solid foot in the realm of \ndance music.\n'Simultaneity', as a whole, is an exploration of the collision between texture and time. \nCaptured recordings reminiscent of wind in wheatgrass, soft rain showers in the open \nplains, and cascading beach sand wash over the mix, splashing into warm drones and \nascending melodies that cleanly syncopate against a steady rhythm. Though decidedly \nelectronic at times, a raw human element is ever-present in the form of a vocal motif: \njust tiny moments of a loving voice lost in a sea of reverberation.\nThe album is a noticeably positive evolution from previous works. All nine tracks depict \na calmness and subtlety in musicianship, relying primarily on tenuous snippets of live \ninstrumentation and synthesis that hypnotically coil and coalesce with one another. \n'Love Tone', the opening track, features Eadie's partner, a small voice memo clipped \nand expanded into an ethereal vocal melody. A crisp felt piano delivers a complex \narpeggiation in 'Mosaic', a warm sonic bath scape reminiscent of Olafur Arnalds or \nKiasmos. Simple, undemanding bass lines drive tracks 'Path' and 'Faulted', though their \nsimplicity is contrasted with a variety of patterns that combine to create unique auditory \nshapes, both building and landing in satisfying climactic movement. The album \nculminates in the final track, 'Touch Theme', where a block of sound in the form of a \nbroad, open synthetic chord warms the ears, eventually twisting and shifting to rhythmic \nchunks that shove against a familiar house rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bastard Jazz","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50384201023819,"sku":"2210846","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_73c350d0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726290171"},{"product_id":"caliboudja","title":"Caliboudja","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing his acclaimed first album, French pianist Dexter Goldberg is back, leading a completely renewed trio, formed with two young French jazz wizards, double bassist Clément Daldosso (known for his stints with the Paris Jazz Sessions and Giovanni Mirabassi New Quartet) and drummer Raphaël Pannier (currently a sideman with Biréli Lagrène and Thomas Enhco), who has just returned from New York. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSummoning the genuine spirit of childhood and the pleasure of interplay, Goldberg puts his trio into perspective, moving from homage to the great masters - in particular, Ahmad Jamal, who encouraged him just before passing - to the joyful building of moving musical forms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Dazzling cover illustration by cartoonist Thomas Baas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jazz and People","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50394429686091,"sku":"2054676","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50394429555019,"sku":"2054675","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a4251450149_16_fce0ee9c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726439166"},{"product_id":"thr3d","title":"Thr3d","description":"\u003cp\u003eBastard Jazz is proud to present the brand new album 'Th3rd\" from Fukoka, Japan based producer Brisa.

Built largely in short sessions at Patrick Wade’s west Toronto home studio, the album reflects a deliberate and detail-oriented process, pulling equally from late-70s R\u0026amp;B, yacht rock, baroque pop, and psychedelic soul. Drawing inspiration from artists includingSteely Dan, The Kinks, Ned Doheny, Stereolab, and Bee Gees, Wade blends warm analogue textures, intricate arrangements, and off-center pop sensibilities into a sound that feels both nostalgic and contemporary. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChilling Effectis a vinyl-minded listening experience designed to unfold front-to-back, balancing sophisticated songwriting with crate-digger appeal. The album moves fluidly between soulful grooves, soft-focus psychedelia, and polished AOR textures, making it a strong crossover title for soul, funk, indie, beat\/electronic, and jazz-adjacent sections alike. With touchpoints that will resonate with fans of Khruangbin,Mild High Club, and modern soul-leaning producers, the release combines meticulous studio craftsmanship with an approachable warmth. The result is a cohesive and intentional record that rewards repeat listens and stands out as Dead Horse Beats’ most fully realized statement to date.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bastard Jazz","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":57548483821899,"sku":"R3139-3033","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Hibiscus Pink","offer_id":57548483854667,"sku":"R3139-8742","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/cover.ki-9_4394c8a7-b55e-4e69-9d28-4aa4f0ba3d16.jpg?v=1781102511"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_4f59c3e4_thumbnail_4096_bc7105ba-7eac-462d-8b65-85adab0d0d26.jpg?v=1726290155","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/bastard-jazz.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
