Pale Jay - Bewilderment ('Seafoam' Green Vinyl)

New pressing on Seafoam
Green vinyl. For Fans Of: Mayer Hawthorne, Bobby Oroza, Burrito Eats, Holy Hive, The Dip. Bewilderment - the feeling of being
perplexed and confused - is the inspiration behind Pale Jay's new album. It's a soulful exploration of a family's gradual disintegration
due to years of avoidance and miscommunication. During this difficult time, Pale Jay began to question the stories he had always lived
with and re-examined his identity. The resulting work, Bewilderment, is his first full-length album, which strives to find answers to these
questions and more. The album is set to release on 8/18/2023 on Karma Chief Records, a subsidiary of Colemine. Pale Jay is a trained
jazz vocalist and pianist, and he wrote, recorded, and produced all songs on the album, except for 'By The Lake', which is a
collaboration with labelmates Okonski - Steve Okonski, Aaron Frazer, and Michael Montgomery. Pale Jay's music is influenced by a
wide range of songwriters, including Labi Siffre, Carole King, and William Onyeabor. 'Bewilderment' is a seamless blend of Pale Jay's
trademark dusty soul, slow disco, and Afrobeat, with string arrangements by Raven Bush adding an extra layer of magic to the beatheavy productions. Pale Jay's debut LP is a captivating journey of self-discovery. Each song on Bewilderment tells a unique story, but
they all share a common theme of personal growth and self-understanding. Grab a copy on 8/18/2023 to dive in and experience the
