Jordan Deal - Seas of Triple Consciousness LP

Jordan Deal’s 2022 debut GOGO Underworld (Cor Ardens) hipped us to their multidisciplinary practice which shapeshifts across film, sculpture, sound & performance. Now we are proud to present the next chapter in Jordan’s recorded legacy.

Seas of Triple Consciousness was recorded between monasteries & churches in rural France and Jordan’s home in Philadelphia. It takes cues from the gospel, blues and folk traditions as well as avant-garde composition techniques.

Essentially a song-suite centred around grand piano with occasional percussion, harmonica, field recordings and guitar, the album starts with a world collapsing before presenting the listener with an imagined future where Jordan channels a series of personae traversing a surreal landscape inhabited by the victims of oppressive forces. With plaintive, soulful and fragile expressions of defiance, nostalgia and hope Jordan’s jaw-dropping creation is as mind-bending as it is familiar. For comparisons try Nina Simone, Moor Mother, & Julius Eastman.  It’s after the end of the world! Don’t you know that yet?

Seas of Triple Consciousness arrives on limited edition black vinyl and is presented in a reverse board sleeve with disco bag inner and double-sided insert with artist notes.
