Jerk is the project of Brooklyn-based producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Joshua Kinney. Known for blending jazz, funk and electronic music, their work folds tight musicianship into unpredictable forms. They have announced the release of a new EP, as night falls, which is the first in a two-part cycle tracing a single night from start to end. Made with long-time collaborators Martin Wade and Wyatt Rydlewski, the EP moves away from beat-driven roots into live instrumentation, synths, and raw improvisation.

as night fall arrives on November 14th through DeepMatter Records and ahead of it Jerk has unveiled the lead single, ‘dance beneath the dripping moon’. Using a steady loop and a strong groove, the track brings disco and funk to the front. Speaking about it, Jerk comments:

“In our journey through the night, this is the soundtrack of our return to each other—our dance around the fire, our ancient yearning to commune with nature and its spirits.”

Listen to ‘dance beneath the dripping moon’ now.
