Shadowlands is the upcoming collaborative album from Grammy-nominated jazz trumpeter John Raymond and Bon Iver sideman S. Carey. The pair go way back having first crossed paths as students nearly twenty years ago at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Despite knowing each other for a long time, it’s only when Raymond and Carey toured together in 2018 that a collaboration spark was ignited. Comprising ten tracks, on Shadowlands “soaring and anthemic moments are balanced with the intimate and meditative, giving way to a wide range of expression”, as the press release describes.

Following the lead single ‘Calling’, Raymond and Carey have shared a gorgeous and soothing new single called ‘Steadfast’ featuring Australian vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Gordi. ‘Steadfast’comes with an accompanying video made by Ingrid Weise. Watch it below and watch out for the album release on September 15th through Libellule Editions.
