The production on My Garden from John Carroll Kirby is so refreshingly different, certainly soft and tactile in its deliberate lo-fi quality… an immersive New Agey groove that's relatable to jazz listeners and journeys to the urge within. A statement of intent…? Kirby (Frank Ocean, Solange) has this record out, accent on the organic on a number of levels… to be released by Stones Throw Records, on 24 April.
