Jerk - as night falls • as day breaks

Format: LP
Catalogue No.: DM028
Barcode: 3663729421616
Release Date: 05 Jun 2026
Genre: Jazz

 Brooklyn-based composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Jerk presents ‘as night falls / as day breaks’, a two-part project brought together as a single, narrative-driven vinyl release tracing the transition from night into day.
 Originally conceived as a dual EP cycle, the project unfolds across two contrasting sonic worlds. ‘as night falls’ explores nocturnal electro-jazz, midnight funk and introspective, grooveled textures, while ‘as day breaks’ shifts toward warmth, clarity and forward motion, capturing the quiet optimism of first light.
 Created alongside longtime collaborator and drummer Martin Wade, the music moves fluidly between jazz, soul and electronic influences, forming Jerk’s most cohesive and
immersive body of work to date.
 Presented as a single LP, the release offers a complete listening experience. Side A journeys through the shadowy, late-night tones of ‘as night falls’, while Side B introduces the brighter, more expansive palette of ‘as day breaks’. Together, the record forms a continuous arc, a cinematic, emotionally resonant project designed to be experienced in full.
 LP in gatefold jacket.

Tracklisting
as night falls
dance beneath the dripping moon
stealthy, she moves!
incoming
a divine wrath
set adrift
wading
emergence and reckoning
still dreaming
alarmed
steppin’ out
wait
picking flowers
putting it back together
lean in
as long as I breathe
