Straddling an intriguing intersection of Drum & Bass, Jazz, Fusion and unidentifiable
electronica, You Won't Find Your Way From Here is the debut album from Jhauk.
An extremely talented multi-instrumentalist from Sheffield, UK, Jhauk came to Blu
Mar Tens attention when, in 2017, he created a wild prog-rock inflected remix of
BMTs track Titans - https://soundcloud.com/jhauk/blu-mar-ten-titans-jhauk-remix
Further conversations with Jhauk revealed the depth of his unorthodox approach to
electronic music and unearthed a treasure trove of production skills, culminating in
the album before you.

Oscillating between the late-night, moody calm of late 50s Miles Davis, John Coltrane
& Bill Evans, the riotous 70s instrumentation of Weather Report, the modern cool
stylings of Matthew Halsall and the gritty edges of modern D&B production, its
scarcely believable that this collection of tracks came from one person working alone
in their studio. With tempos and time signatures skittering all over the place, Jhauk
uses genres as catalysts rather than containers, he finds the interesting stuff in the
hinterlands of their structural relationships and tensions.
Talking about the album, Jhauk has strong opinions:

Drum & Bass emerged as club music, and club music comes with its own logic.
Specific structures, specific build-ups, a formula that supports that context.
That's fair enough, but almost 40 years later, why is 99% of D&B still made the exact
same way when 99% of the time it's never heard in a club? The same structure, the
same formula, barely any development beyond the core idea. Tracks where you can
hear 10 seconds of the drop and know almost beat-for-beat how the next 5 minutes
sound. No real musical depth or exploration. People regurgitating the same material
ad-nauseum but never actually saying anything for themselves

.
This period of composition for me was about taking what I love about D&B, the
rhythmic energy and potential for creative freedom it presents and really stretching
it to its limits. Of taking drum & bass as a starting point and seeing where it ends up
without an idea of what that destination might be. Most people would probably
never call a lot of the results D&B, but that's okay because it was never the point.
Dripping with melancholy, euphoria, longing and pure urgency You Won't Find Your
Way From Here is unlike anything else youll hear this year. The sound of an artist
entirely unconcerned with impressing peers or performing on socials; you're
hearing a true musician at work, expressing ideas through the skill of his hands, mind
and ears. The albums secrets arent revealed with a single play-through, but bears
(or even requires) multiple listens to expose its layers.
In previous times, they called this art'.
