Jordan Rakei announces new EP 'Bruises'

Following on from the release of his brilliant 2021 LP 'What We Call Life' and recent collaboration with Bonobo on 'Shadows', Jordan Rakei has now announced his plans for a new EP, arriving next month.

The new four-track collection 'Bruises' is being previewed by the release's title-track, and is set to be unveiled on the 4th March via Ninja Tune.

Speaking about the new cut, Jordan said, “I wanted to explore my musical roots of reggae music on ‘Bruises’, but put a slightly alternative spin on it. I wrote the string parts and took them to Amika Quartet. We spent a whole day coming up with different ideas for different sections of the song, and I'm really happy with how it all turned out. I had a lot of fun making this track as it takes me back to my earlier days of making music.”
