Dance Ancestral is the latest addition to producer and keyboardist John Carroll Kirby’s fast-growing and distinctive body of work. Dance Ancestral sees the acclaimed solo artist teaming up with Canadian producer Yu Su for an album whose central theme is the “intuitive dance” we perform throughout our lives. More electronically focused than Kirby’s previous albums, the result is a vividly imagined yet eminently listenable instrumental record.
This is the fifth album by LA-based producer/pianist JOHN CARROLL KIRBY, who made a big splash on his first Japan tour in May this year. The album was produced with Canadian artist Yu Su as a production partner, and expresses more electronic elements and melancholy than his previous albums. The theme of this album is "intuitive dance," which is a change from the jazz and new age style of the past albums. Don't miss the music video for the preceding single A1 "Dawn of New Day" featuring ambient music pioneer LARAAJI (Mecha Smile). Please listen to the tracklist as well. highly recommended!
