MAX JURY - MODERN WORLD 2019

MAX JURY - MODERN WORLD  (Marathon Artists)  Release date: Friday, June 14th 2019  Airplay Date: Friday, June 14th 2019  Bertus Distributie: Bertus  ‘Modern World’ is the second album from 26-year-old Iowa native Max   Jury. The follow up to 2016’s critically acclaimed, self-titled debut, ‘   Modern World’ is a graceful, sophisticated and truly contemporary body   of work, brimming with Jury’s vast and eclectic range of influences.  It is an album about life, friendship and facing each day with a renewed clarity.

 

Produced by four time Grammy nominated Robin Hannibal (Kendrick Lamar, The Internet, Jessie Ware, Anderson .Paak), the album is steeped in soul and jazz influences. The stunning ‘Stillness’ for example, arrives with a bassline that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Thundercat record. ‘Fading Out of You’ manages to evoke Jury’s newly chosen home of Paris before a huge RnB beat comes in, complimented perfectly by the warmth and subtlety of his vocal, which since his debut, has grown into an androgynous instrument that dances across his music.

‘Modern World’ was recorded at The Ship studio in Eagle Rock with a hand-picked band of LA’s most talented session musicians: guitarist Joel Van Dijk, drummer Bill Campbell and bassist Thomas Drayton, the son of Motown legend Clay Drayton and the musical director for Childish Gambino.
