Jesse Hackett - Nocturnes (2026) [Hi-Res]

Multi-instrumentalist Jesse Hackett introduces Nocturnes, a somber fusion of spectral jazz and gothic chamber music. Developed during a challenging personal period, the album draws inspiration from classic horror aesthetics and French impressionism. Featuring contributions from woodwind specialist Finn Peters, the record centers on piano-led compositions. Scheduled for release on February 27, 2026, as a limited vinyl edition, this project marks a shift toward a deeply personal and cinematic style. Hackett, recognized for his extensive tenure with Gorillaz and various experimental ensembles, departs from his established electronic and world-music influences to explore a more haunting, atmospheric sonic direction.
