FKJ Debuts Heartbreakingly Beautiful 'Ylang Ylang' EP, Made in the SE Asian Jungle
In a world of electronic musicians who strive to play live, FKJ (French Kiwi Juice) is the multi-instrumentalist poised to steal your heart.
His stage shows are grand displays of talent, a one-man affair that uses samplers to create layers of heartbreakingly-beautiful groove with guitars, piano, saxophone, synthesizers and more. It's always a lovely affair, and today, he's managed to dig even deeper into his soul with a six-track EP called Yang Ylang.
"It's the name of the place I stayed isolated for months in the jungle," FKJ is quoted in a press release. "I want to present it a more like a conceptual one, like a film scoring of that time and place."
The very-personal EP is representative of a tumultous time in his life. For six months in 2019, the musician escaped the day-to-day by isolating himself in a jungle in Southeast Asia.
"There is almost no one there," he says. "No electricity. I was making music out of a generator that was running only by night. The most beautiful landscapes, mountains, beaches. It's one of my favourite places in the world. When I made music there it felt kind of like a dream state."
The full EP is out today on Mom + Pop, and he celebrates the release with a music video for the moving, jazz ballad title track. The clip was filmed in the jungle, where FKJ made his studio. It's pure ear and eye candy.
