about the record

Celebrated UK producer Loraine James joins Phantom Limb for a breathtaking homage to vital NYC composer Julius Eastman, reinterpreting, reimagining and responding to key works for a brand-new album.

Speaking in similar tongues as young, gay, Black, independent creatives working in a challenging environment, the two musicians are bound closely together, despite a six-year gap before their lives ever intersected. James includes the original Eastman titles in many of her tracks, appending the source material in parentheses to mark the lineage of the work, a clear, traceable thread from the heavenly to the sublime.
