Nagrany w samotności album kochanego producenta, który tym razem dużo gra tu na „żywych” instrumentach i bawi się dźwiękami, ale jakby na smutno. Jak sam pisze: to „mrok, z którego można jednak się wydostać”.

Nicolas Jaar’s 2020 album ‘Cenizas’ is now available on single vinyl due to popular demand.

‘Cenizas’ was written and produced by Nicolás Jaar between 2017-2019. Mastering by Rashad Becker, art by Maziyar Pahlevan.

Nicolás Jaar is a Chilean sound maker born in 1990. He is known in the club world for his various dance 12”s and remixes he put out from 2008 to 2011. Since his first full length (‘Space Is Only Noise’, 2011), he has embarked in multiple divergent paths.

He has released a large volume of recordings through his label Other People (including music by Lydia Lunch, William Basinski, Patrick Higgins, DJ Slugo, Lucretia Dalt, Pierre Bastien & Tomaga, Vtgnike and others).

Nicolás has collaborated with artist Lydia Ourahmane, FKA Twigs and Patrick Higgins under the name Aeaea. He is also a current member of improvisational ensemble ¡Miércoles! alongside dancer and choreographer Stéphanie Janaina, founding member of research collective Shock Forest Group and half of the band Darkside.

“‘Cenizas’ is an LP of significant gravitas from an artist with among the largest and most engaged followings in electronic music” - Resident Advisor (8/10)

“Given all the technical ground ‘Cenizas’ covers, Jarr is an impressively meticulous guide. Every pluck, ping, buzz, scratch, and whistle is intentional, a bump in the tunnel as you slide down the rabbit hole.” - Pitchfork (8.0)

“Jaar’s music has always been deeply preoccupied with atmosphere, and ‘Cenizas’ is a deeply atmospheric album. It sounds like a void. As you listen, you feel like you could fall into it and never find your way out.” - Loud & Quiet (9/10)
