Jason Calhoun – “enjoy losing”

Philadelphia-based ambient artist Jason Calhoun is preparing to release his fifth album, "revelations of divine love," through Dear Life Records. The musician has previously shared previews of the album, including tracks titled "tolstoy tatsoi," "what we deserve," and "at home." Today, Calhoun releases a new single called "enjoy losing," a cosmic blip inspired by playing chess on his phone.

The artist explains that he aimed to learn how to enjoy losing, rather than winning, through trial and error. Calhoun emphasizes that embracing this losing process has been integral to his musical and spiritual practice. The textural piece features Calhoun using a contact mic and rosary, symbolizing his constant search for divine love. "revelations of divine love" is set to drop on August 7, with pre-orders available now.
