Whisperleaf

Against Distorted Granite Waves

The idea behind 'Ancestry' was to explore the stories from my family history, including my great, great grandfather: a black minister who married a white woman in Jamaica in 1880;  his son, the conservator of forestry on the island, who planted the trees that are now under threat from the extreme weather and flooding of the climate crisis; and the living and future children in our family, all framing the expression of themes of climate justice, dual heritage identity and generational healing.
 
The album was funded by Arts Council England and the MOBO fund of Help Musicians UK. I worked with producer Doug Cave, whose music features regularly on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Worldwide FM and has frequent rotation on Spotify's jazz/leftfield Playlists, as well as some of Bristol's finest new wave jazz musicians from Snazzback, No Go Stop and Cousin Kula. 

The sound was inspired by classic artists like Marvin Gaye, Carole King and Minnie Riperton as well as Robert Glasper-esque RnB and jazz, and contemporary artists like of Cleo Sol, Sault, Michael Kiwanuka and Jordan Rakei, as well as spoken word of Arlo Parks and Kae Tempest.

birthday split single with Spring Thing!! he makes great music, go check it out! https://soundcloud.com/springthingmusic/tracks

“Ben Gibbard Broke My Heart” is a song I wrote a few years ago, when the titular Benjamin Gibbard and his fellow bandmates of The Postal Service, Jenny Lewis and Dntel, began teasing something mysterious on all their social media accounts, as well as The Postal Service’s. A lot of fans, including myself, got very excited at the idea of a possible reunion. So the days and weeks passed, and after all that buildup- we were treated to a zoom call to encourage voting (which you should do!!!) and a (very nice) live album. It wasn’t the big announcement of new music that we were all hoping for unfortunately. It was hard not to be disappointed, Give Up being one of my favorite albums ever, but there is always a silver lining! In this case, it inspired me to write a song. “Ben Gibbard Broke My Heart” is a fun and punchy lo-fi indie rock jam about the frustrations of a young Postal Service super-fan having their heart broken by expectations, and how they (I) channeled those frustrations into song. This one is a real banger, and I’ve been sitting on it for quite some time now, I really hope you’ll give it a listen and enjoy it! :)

p.s. - every second of this song was written and recorded in nothing but good fun, I mean absolutely no offense and bear zero ill-will to anyone over at The Postal Service. no hard feelings from me personally, will always love and appreciate all of the wonderful work the three of you have contributed to the musical world, your art will undoubtedly live beyond any of us <3 -uncle joe
