[Repressed] Positive vibrations out of L.A. A psychedelic harmony of sound. Blissful, paradisiacal new age jazz from an almost absurdly stacked cast of players.
Track List
‘Spirit Reflection’ is the third album LP from Los Angeles singer-songwriter Gaby Hernandez. Blissful layers of instrumentation, electronics, vocal harmonies and folkloric percussion intertwine with west coast feel to create a unique, beautiful and multi-layered album.
‘Spirit Reflection’ features a stellar line-up of LA talent; jazz star Kamasi Washington, Stuart Howard (AKA Lapalux), Kelis and Gaslamp killer collaborator Dexter Story, plus Ninja Tune, Plug Research and Soul Jazz artist Carlos Niño aka Ammoncontact, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and GB all accompany Gaby, with stunning results.
The album has already received support from Nemone, Gilles Peterson, Lefto, Toshio Matsuura (U.F.O.) and J-Rocc (Beat Junkies) amongst many others.
In our opinion this is a future classic, and an 'album' in the truest sense of the word. Brilliant.

Carlos Niño, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Dexter Story, Kamasi Washington, GB, Lapalux — an album by Gaby Hernandez featuring and supported by the musicians who have been key to the L.A. scene. It speaks to just how rich that scene has become. Originally released in 2016 on ANALOG BURNERS as a 2LP set with an instrumental disc, this classic is now reissued by MR.BONGO as a single LP without the instrumentals.
