Jherek Bischoff premieres video for ‘Young & Lovely’

16 May 2012

As previously reported, multi-talented songwriter, producer and composer Jherek Bischoff is set to release his debut album Composed in just over a week.

The first single off Composed, the astounding ‘Young & Lovely’ featuring Zac Pennington (Parenthetical Girls) and French singer Soko, came out as a limited edition 7″ for Record Store Day, backed with another extraordinary track, ‘Eyes’, featuring David Byrne. I was lucky enough to grab it.

Mr. Bischoff has just unleashed a visual accompaniment for ‘Young & Lovely’. The video was filmed in Melbourne and directed by Michael McQuilken.
Speaking about the video, Jherek Bischoff said that “the whole concept and cast was based on our surroundings and the good friends that we made while spending 6 weeks there in Melbourne.”

Composed will be out on May 28th in Europe via The Leaf Label and June 5th in North America via Brassland.

Now here’s the video for ‘Young & Lovely’.

Jherek Bischoff to release 7″ single ahead of debut album

20 April 2012

After several years working on his album, Seattle based songwriter, producer and composer Jherek Bischoff is set to release his debut solo album entitled Composed.

The nine orchestral pieces in Composed feature an array of illustrious guests.
“This record is the most exciting project I have ever worked on due largely to the amazing collaborators I have had the chance to work with” said Jherek Bischoff about his forthcoming album. “If you told me 5 years ago that I would be composing orchestral music and collaborating with my heroes I would have thought you were nuts!”
David Byrne, Zac Pennington (Parenthetical Girls), Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), Soko, Caetano Veloso, Mirah, Carla Bozulich (Evangelista, Geraldine Fibbers), Craig Wedren (Shudder To Think), Dawn McCarthy and Nels Cline (Wilco) are some of the heroes he’s referring to.

Composed will be released on May 28th in Europe via The Leaf Label and June 5th in North America via Brassland.

Ahead of it, and to celebrate Record Store Day, the first cut from the album, ‘Young & Lovely’, will hit stores tomorrow as a limited edition 7″ single. ‘Young & Lovely’ features Zac Pennington and French singer/actor Soko and you can grab it free on Jherek’s bandcamp. ‘Eyes’ is the second collaborative track on the 7″ featuring David Byrne.
You can preview these two majestic cuts below. And check out the teaser trailer for Composed.
