Jr Jr - Invocations / Conversations (2019) Hi Res

The time between albums for any band or artist usually comes with a few minor twists and turns at a minimum, or in the case of JR JR, quite dramatic ones. Since the release of their last full-length in 2015, the band fought their way out of a major label deal, assessed certain lifestyle choices affecting one's mental health, and in Zott's case, fostered to adopt two children only to be surprised with a biological one as well within the span of three months. The aforementioned challenges and life events, as well as the calamitous political and social upheaval that has taken place over the past few years, are just a few aspects of the beautiful, complicated, and messy story behind these 16 tracks of excellent, introspective, and emotional songwriting.
