Sydney producer and multi-instrumentalist Jonti has released his first new music in five years, and it's as weird and wonderful as we hoped.
Jonti has been signed to US label Stones Throw for years, and has now announced a new signing to Australian label Future Classic (Flume, Nick Murphy), in a partnership between the two labels.
While the name may not be overly familiar to you, chances are you've heard something he's worked on. Jonti has toured with Gotye, recorded with Badbadnotgood, Jagwar Ma and Mark Ronson among others, and worked extensively on The Avalanches comeback album Wildflower.
New track "Scrood" features Steve Lacy (The Internet), and was created in LA last June during a late night jam. Of the track, Jonti explains that he “Envisioned a story to go with it of a man walking through a burning city to get to this person he loves. Which is a metaphor, saying that even though it feels like the world is falling apart, I’m still going to try do my best and soldier forward with love.”
Keep an ear out for more new music in the coming months.
