Incredibly excited to announce the next BES release: “The St. Louis Sessions” EP out June 19th on DeepMatter Records. Today we release the first single “Chartreuse” featuring local St. Louis players Jawwaad Spann on Saxophone and Josiah Burton on Trumpet. Recorded by Austin LeMoine.

This will be released as a 10 inch vinyl record, which you can preorder now! Album and singles designed by Dean Bengsten featuring photos of mine.

These sessions took place at Austin’s home studio which he built in STL. I brought some of my demos down from Chicago to St. Louis and we invited Jawwaad and Josiah over for an experimental session that we tracked right in his living room. After meeting for the first time and bonding over a shared taste in tunes and drinks, we recorded the horn takes live together over these demos. Their incredible musicianship and the roomy sound that Austin captured really elevated these tunes and made the collection feel uniquely their own. Proud to share them and blessed to work with such talented people!

Hope y’all dig! Huge thanks to Eamonn Prizy, Patch Romanowski, Jackson Ramsey, Jason Balla, Dave Vettraino, Dean, Katie & Troy, Morgan, Louie, Alex Aguayo, VK & Paul, Teej, Tom & Max, and more!

We’re just under a month out from @jerkmakesmusic’s ‘as day breaks’, and the LP has just landed at DMHQ 😮‍💨

A full dusk-to-dawn journey, the record traces the shift from ‘as night falls’ into ‘as day breaks’, moving through hazy, cosmic jazz and groove-led moments along the way. Pressed as a beautiful gatefold, designed by @lliamkay.

Pre-orders live now via Bandcamp + the DeepMatter store.

‘as day breaks’ officially touches down today completing the story of ‘as night falls / as day breaks’

🌞🌚

this was perhaps my most ambitious undertaking to date, and it’s certainly my favorite record to date

it would have happened without a tremendous group of contributors:

@mgmwmusic on the drums
@wyatt.aiff on bass/co-writing for “stealthy, she moves!”

@sonnyratcliff for engineering the night drums
@hunterdavidsohn for engineering the day drums and mixing the whole project

@jkinneymusic for putting the final polish on the vinyl masters

@lliamkay for this gorgeous artwork and layout
@lemon.eeeee for the typeface and an ammount of moral support and love that truly made this whole thing possible

@tpickford and @deepmatter for believing in my idea and making it a reality
@max_purcellb for making sure people actually heard it along the way

thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to share this work with you, you can head to my bio to listen to the full thing 🎧

Final single “Japanese Green” from the St. Louis Sessions EP out next Tuesday, May 19th 🌱

Pre-save 🔗 in bio 🫡

still dreaming (cr78 version)

this tune is the opening track to ‘as day breaks’ and was the final piece that pulled the whole thing together in the 11th hour, and it sounded a lot like this when i was writing it and figured i’d share a peek behind the proverbial curtain

tomorrow, the record finally touches down on all platforms and vinyl preorders ship

i started working on this music in 2024 so this is quite a rewarding moment to finally reach

it would make my heart sing if you took a moment to pre-save it on your preferred streamer OR even better order a copy on wax

that’s all for now
from joni, with love 💜
