Store Categories JON BAP Yesterday's Homily / LP NEW VINYL / Dolfin 2017
Jon Bap‘s latest full-length album, "Yesterday’s Homily", is a sonic exploration of free jazz, jazz fusion, funk, hip hop and more, as Bap looks at the duality of life with a fearless optimism.
It begins almost imperceptibly: a high-pitched drone, sounding like half-filled wine glasses played in reverse, hovers in, hanging overhead in stasis like a U.F.O. The sci-fi whine builds to a peak before suddenly shape shifting into a radio jingle. “Hey you, what are you doing today? / This is your life story.” For the next 43 minutes, Bap takes the listener on a tour of his mental airwaves, sifting through channels of cerebral future funk, delicate lo-fi balladry, free jazz soundscapes, and weird hip-hop. At times, the barrage of styles can feel alien in its methodology, but Bap’s steady hand on the dial and his highly expressive melodic voice filter out the noise to a (mostly) soothing hush. Be warned: your neck may snap from the sudden shock of his incessant genre-hopping, but Yesterday’s Homily swings with a fragile, unvarnished humanity that cuts through its chaotic musical clutter.
